If I Do Stem Cells Can I Walk and Lead a Normal Life?

stem-cells-obesity-walking-activity-life

That was the question posed to Dennis M. Lox, MD,, an expert in Sports and Regenerative Medicine. The particular patient asking the question had multiple problems. Obesity, severe knee an hip osteoarthritis, and metabolic syndrome. Being over 350 lbs. Dr. Lox knew the patient was more than likely in an inflammatory state which was confirmed with lab analysis. Orthopedic surgeons do not like to operate on obese patients,  as complications such as infection rise.

So, many patients are turning to physicians such as Dr. Lox for regenerative therapies such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP ) and Stem Cell Therapy.  If mobility and function can be restored, Dr. Lox comments other goals such as weight loss, independent ambulation and exercise can be accomplished. All leading to the common goal of leading a normal life. In many cases, Dr. Lox has treated patients who were offered little hope and they responded miraculously. This is the beauty of stem cell treatment Dr. Lox notes, the stem cells do not harm you as they are autologous (from the patient’s own body). This preserves all options, unlike surgery, which if unsuccessful or is associated with a major complication, will most assuredly ruin your day, week, month, or …..life.

Simple goals such as returning to do independently in the home are easily met in most instances with stem cell therapy. Walking included. Dr. Lox states it is all a matter of understanding the problem, and optimizing treatment accordingly. By doing so, successful outcomes are tilted towards a successful outcome.
