Exercise and sports are generally viewed as positive, health-enhancing activities. But, there are many ways to become injured in the process, such as through a fall, collision, overuse, or simply pushing the body too hard. To deal with the resulting pain and mobility limitations, some people resort to an extended period of inactivity, repeated cortisone injections, long-term medication use, or surgery. In any of those scenarios, the recovery process can be long and frustrating especially for an individual who is accustomed to being very active.

As an avid multi-sport athlete himself, Dr. Lox understands the challenges that many active individuals face when traditional treatments prove to be ineffective for addressing a musculoskeletal condition or sports injury, such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or joint instability, or a meniscal, ACL, or rotator cuff tear. To help his patients recover as quickly and safely as possible, Dr. Lox offers innovative regenerative treatments, personalized to a patients specific needs. These advanced therapies help many people find effective pain relief and recover, while delaying or eliminating the need for more aggressive treatments, such as joint replacement surgery.

If you would like to learn more about regenerative medicine, how a specific procedure is performed, or how stem cells can potentially aid in injury recovery, Dr. Lox would be pleased to talk with you one on one at his office in the Tampa Bay, FL, area or Beverly Hills, CA.

Many patients are turning to stem cell therapy as a means of nonsurgical joint pain relief when their mobility and quality of life are severely affected by conditions like osteoarthritis, torn tendons, and injured ligaments.Dennis M. Lox, M.D.specializes in this progressive, innovative treatment that may be able to help you return to an active, fulfilling life.

Stem cell therapyfor joint injuries and osteoarthritis is suited for many individuals, fromprofessional athletes to active seniors. Adult mesenchymal stem cells, not embryonic stem cells, are used in this procedure, which is performed right in the comfort of Dr. Loxs state-of-the-art clinic. The cells are simply extracted from the patients own body (typically from bone marrow or adipose/ fat tissue), processed in our office, and injected directly into the site of injury. Conditions that can be addressed with stem cell treatment include osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, knee joint issues (such as meniscus tears), shoulder damage (such as rotator cuff injuries), hip problems (such as labral tears), and tendonitis, among others. For many patients, astem cell procedure in the knee, hip, shoulder, or another area of the body relieves pain, increases mobility, and may be able to delay or eliminate the need for more aggressive treatments like joint replacement surgery.

If you have questions about adult stem cell therapy for joint injuries and arthritis, how the procedure is performed, and how the stem cells work to repair injured joints and tissues, Dr. Lox would be happy to educate you about the entire process.
