I’ll add to that my 5th grader difference.You flatter me with your kind words mate, keep this up and…
In all sincerity I like to be upfront and honest I have a decent understanding of quite a bit but at and eighth grade level.
I have utilized the following
Regenexx (PRP only, 4x)
ConciergeMD (Los Angeles)
Dallas Center for Pain Management (Fort Worth Location)
Texas Orthopedics Association (Exosomes 6 administrations)
BioXcellerator
Ways2Well (both the Houston and Austin locations)
Regenexx did nothing for me. ConciergeMD and BioXcellerator I only did IV administration and to be honest I didn’t notice anything really. My wife had fantastic results with her knee from Bio.
TOA - all I’m going to say is don’t waste your money on Exosomes.
Best success I have had is with intra-articulat injections. Pain management center literally saved me a fairly massive surgery. I’ve done Ways2Well now 2x in the past 12 months at both locations and did one IV administration and the second time I did both knees and both shoulders. I can officially say I can leave the gym after a leg day and actually walk down the stairs with no pain.
Ways2Well is usually 3,500 per joint or 5,000 for bi-lateral joints.
From my understanding and I may be wrong here - so please do chime in everyone. The major difference is that in the states they cannot expand the cells (culture them and grow more) but the use of whartons jelly is completely ok?
What you had done in Texas is essentially whartons jelly PRP, meaning blood from the donors. So will be rich in growth factors and have “potential” stem cells in it, but isn’t verified as that’s not legal in the U.S.
This is to me allows for them to use the grey area to do the same thing.
My only concern (as I’m sure you will agree) is how do we determine the source and quality. Meaning generic screening (maybe they do this), but also what’s the % of viability.
I spoke in depth with them as I wanted to have an option to send guys to and would suggest them, as long as guys go into it eyes wide open.
That’s my perception and understanding of the difference. Feel free to add by all means.
All I want to know is “does this shit last” which is where I’m sure many guys would be on a basic level. we all want to be 21 again.
