Dr. Lox prides himself that he gets some of the tougher cases. These illustrate why an expert who truly knows the field of Regenerative Medicine and stem cell science, has the experience and knowledge to design a Regenerative Medicine program, in conjunction with diet and exercise, to properly facilitate long term goals.
Taking a cookie cutter approach or a “one size fits all” treatment, because that was what the franchiser dictates, or the large groups of chiropractors banding together to market the same way for everyone is no different.

Both could lose some weight to optimize their goals, yet the 5’2″ 300 pound woman is much more critical to spend extra time discussing knee force, and acceleration of knee arthritis progression. Thus the rehabilitation and diet portion is essential. It is important that the patient believes, and wants to obtain their goals.
Dr. Lox is often asked if you should do the knee stem cell injections, after losing the weight. The usual response is “no”.
Treating sooner than later may halt or reverse the progressive nature of knee arthritis.

There are laboratory tests to hope monitor the patients adipose or fat level status. Some is neutral, while others are inflammatory, yes certain fat secretes inflammatory signal molecules known as cytokines.
Cytokines may be good and work in harmony with stem cells, or a constant barrage of bad cytokines must be addressed from inflammatory adipose or fat tissue for good results for your knees. We know now the same processes that damage heart and blood vessels occur with these inflammatory cytokines.
Having a plan to neutralize cytokines to get optimal response from knee stem cell injection is important. There was still narrowed joint medial compartment on her knee, yet her functional level improved dramatically.
