My recent evaluation and follow up procedure with Dr Papas confirms and compliments my first vist with him last year.He is a very thorough docter who presents less evasive, yet very effectice allteratives to surgery.Last year I had repeated episodes of several days unable to even walk with terrible lower back pain. 5 Months after his SCP injections, I completed a big bucket list adventure Hiking is the San Juan mountains in Southern Colorado with my son. I had zero pain hiking at 12,000 feet and completed the adventure and trip of a life time!To prepare, I did lose weight, started eating very healthy and trained for it methodically. That said, I don't think it would have been possile without discovering Dr. Papas, who encouraged and guided me during our telehealth visits prior to the Trip.I have had some minor pain and soreness in my back since the trip and decided to consult Dr. Papas about this and some long time arthritis issues in my knee and hip. We decided to have limited injections in both areas and a touch up to my lower back.It's only been a a few weeks, but so far all is well with noticable improvement. I can't say enough about the value in avoiding surgery when ever possible. Finding Dr Papas at Regenex in Tampa was just what I needed. He is very detailed in his examination, patient to answer any and all questions and I thank God for the help he provided.Joeread more

Twelve week review after PCP/MFAT injection for torn rotator cuff and DJD of shoulder showed some healing and likely more healing with time. I was disappointed that Regenexx notified me this would be an online review but I requested a face to face review and sonograph to show before and after results. They honored my request and I felt more positive about taking this course of treatment.read more

Dr. Papas provided a thorough evaluation of my shoulder and was able to narrow down my pain source with ultrasound imaging at my first visit. He had multiple noninvasive solutions that require minimal downtime. I appreciate his professionalism and his staff’s attentiveness.

Excellent results. I have a degenerative disc L5-S1 that was causing me a lot of pain. I was so afraid I was going to have to have back surgery. I found this place and they have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Papas was top notch and the whole procedure was quick and minimally invasive. I can now walk without crippling pain and there are days I forget I even had a back issue. The results are very impressive. I’m on my feet 12-14 hrs a day. There was minimal downtime and the recovery was fast.read more

???? Gratitude Overflowing ????I want to express my deep gratitude to @flregendoc and @regenexx. The importance of bedside manner cannot be overstated. My journey has been filled with challenges, including numerous hospitalizations that left me scarred. Tragically, the system failed my mother due to medical errors.My trust in healthcare was shattered. Entrusting someone with my well-being is an immense step, laden with trauma-triggering potential. A single touch can unlock a flood of memories, emotions, and experiences. Dr. Papas, however, provided reassurance and instilled trust. His team, incredible in every way, held my hand through it all. Despite my trembling and tears, they created a haven for me.I’ve visited some of the most renowned clinics in the USA (and soon, the world), but what I’ve come to realize is that kindness and empathy are priceless. This team embodies it wholeheartedly. #regenerativeliving #regenerativemedicine #prp #kneepain #physiotherapy #GratefulHeart #EmpathyInMedicine #HealingJourneyread more

Last year I fell down stairs and had a severe fracture on my right ankle. Even after surgery for adding titanium extensions to both sides of my ankle I still had nerve pain, and excessive discomfort 7 months later. I returned to Dr James Leiber to discuss my issues and he recommended me to do a PRP protocol to give the area a new start to heal more completely. After the procedure he told me I had a great opportunity for full recovery. It hasn’t been easy but I knew I had tried for PRP procedures in other parts of my body from previous injuries. My husband even did a stem cell procedure on his torn rotator cuff and labrum.I have so much confidence in this dr and in these procedures. After 6-8 weeks I returned to complete pain free mobility. I am continuing to have no nerve pain and endurance to walk unaided. In September I returned to full activity even walking up and down stairs pain free. I see a future again as a 74 year old that will return to traveling , hiking and enjoying life to the fullest. I highly recommend that you try these procedures and believe you to can have a complete recovery to any neuromuscular issue from carpel tunnel, to mobility in your fingers and extremities in your body this really works to restore and repair your abilities to move pain free and successfully return to an active life. Thank you New Regeneration Orthopedics for using our own blood and stem cells to help us to repair our aging and accident ridden parts safely and with great hope!read more

I was suffering with a torn rotator cuff for years. Surgery would mean being out of commission for 3 months, then physical therapy, loss of muscle tone, and lowered quality of life.My husband found out about Dr Pappas and about PRP as an option.The procedure was simple and quick and involves use of my own blood to heal the tear. I was back at the gym in two days. I did not need to take any days off from work.After six weeks, the ultrasound showed the tear as HEALED!!! My should was feeling great and I was back to lifting heavy weights.This was the best decision!!! Dr Pappas and staff were great and I highly recommend this simple, effective procedure for very quick recovery!!!read more

True to the Regenexx name, the care at Regenexx Tampa Bay was superb. While I am typically a patient at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Broomfield, CO, (also a Regenexx) I needed a procedure that couldn't wait, so I made an appointment with Dr. Torrance at the Regenexx closest to where I live. Dr. Torrance is the perfect blend of very high competence, coupled with outstanding interpersonal skills. Unlike many doctors in the western medical world, Dr. Torrance listened closely to my hopes and fears about the procedure and made me feel completely at peace moving forward with him, thoroughly answering all of my questions. On the day of my procedure, my body ( I was having a lower cervical/upper thoracic spine procedure done) decided to throw a few curve balls. Dr. Torrance rolled with it all with ease and grace. Don't let this doctor's age fool you. He is at the top of his field, working alongside doctors who have a couple of decades on him. While he never made any promises, the outcome of my procedure far exceeded my expectations. In the sea of regenerative medicine options, Regenexx far out surpasses them all. There is absolutely no other place that I would trust to handle my care.read more

Thank you Dr. Papas! After I tried alternative methods elsewhere without long-term success I found Regenexx through the recommendation of a tennis friend. He had previously went through ankle treatment with Regenexx and successfully recovered as well. After 1 PRP injection treatment and PT afterwards, I was able to recover from my wrist injury and compete professionally in racquet sports again pain free. The knowledge and professional care from Dr Ignatios Papas and his team was outstanding so I highly recommend.read more

Very professional with thorough instructions on what to expect. I had cervical platelet injections for neck stiffness, pain and positional headaches that have been occurring for the past 5 months. After reviewing my MRI, Dr. Leiber was confident he could safely help me.I did not hesitate because my husband has received positive results from Dr Leibers care and though I was quite anxious, I came out of the procedure a bit whoozy (I was given a muscle relaxant and pain medication), slept in the car and went straight to bed for a 2 hr nap. I can honestly say this was my post op “recovery” experience. My headache is gone, I am a little stiff now (day after) but overall, feel much better than before. I am hopeful this continues to be the case long term. What a relief! I am a healthy 59 yr old and want to stay that way for as long as I can!read more

After years of chronic pain in my shoulder and my cervical spine, I found it time to get serious about feeling better. I had the great fortune of finding Dr Ron Torrance and Regenexx. After a thorough and comprehensive exam, Dr Torrance determined that I was a candidate for both PRP therapy and stem cell therapy. Oh my goodness I am astounded at the results. The decades of chronic pain are GONE! With little to no downtime and physical therapy My cervical spine has improved 100% My shoulder +90% just 8 weeks out. Yes the procedure is pricey but I know I'm worth it if I had it to do over again I would have done it at least 5 years ago. Dr Torrance and his team went above and beyond and explaining the procedure as well as performing. Thank you Dr Ron Torrance because of your expertise this ole gal is getting her groove back.read more

I am very pleased with the results I have seen from the PRP procedure on my back and one hip. Other orthopedic doctors only offered me medication, surgery, or steroid injections, none of which had any appeal to me. After my PRP injections, I am more active (proven by the health app on my phone) by twice as much over a year ago. I faithfully exercise and walk, but I no longer need the medication, and I no longer limp. The healing PRP brought me is long-lasting, and it was worth the expense. I am so happy about it. Surgery is a serious injury, in my opinion, and I avoid it if at all possible. The fact that this procedure required no anesthesia was a big advantage too. I highly recommend it and the Regenexx office, Dr. Ron Torrance in particular, to anyone who only has the options I did for managing a condition rather than healing it.read more

I tore my supraspinatus tendon playing golf and tried everything, PT, acupuncture, massage for 6 months with no improvement and very limited movement. Was heading for ortho surgical repair option when my trainer recommended I get a consultation with Dr Papas since he had seen success with this natural, less invasive treatment that only required a couple of months recovery rather than a year. I wanted to get back to golf and swimming but was skeptical. I just went back for my 6 week post treatment check up and the tear was gone, my mobility has increased almost completely back to normal with ongoing PT and happy to say I can finally get back to basic things like doing up my bra, shaving my legs and putting my hair up! Would definitely recommend and in the end the cost was less than it would be with insurance deductibles on ‘standard’ surgical options. Not to mention much faster recovery. PT also affirmed that they had seen a lot of success with this type of procedure (PRP) in patients for neck, hip, knee and ankle injuries as well. Only downside in my particular case what’s that the injection was more painful than expected.read more

The whole team in the Sarasota office was communicative and top-notch.

I had a meniscus tear for years that got worse and finally got to the point where it was disrupting my normal life, couldn't run, walking longer than a half mile would flair it up, I couldn't even elevate my foot without support under my knee without it feeling like it would snap! Dr. Torrance did a stem cell injection for me, super explanatory of the process, answering a million of my questions and overall nice guy. After the initial healing phase my knee was great and I was able to start running again within a few weeks. It's been about 2 years now and my knee is still doing amazing, haven't had any flair ups and have way more range of motion than before. I'm so grateful to Dr. Torrance and Regenexx for allowing me to get back to activity (and normal life) again!read more

I recently had a situation where I had been driving several miles and when I reached my location, I could barely walk after getting out of the car. This was sudden and likely a result of old injuries to my low back. I had not experienced this particular issue before. It was difficult to walk, and the pain was rather intense. Doctor Papas recommend and performed a platelet procedure on my low back and the results are amazing! I had relief almost immediately and a week later I’m feeling better than ever! Any apprehension I had about having injections quickly faded away when the medical team walked me through the process and kept me well informed through the procedure. I felt completely at ease with their professionalism and level of care. For anyone who is experiencing pain I would recommend this. The procedure was quick and painless and the results have been better than I could have imagined. Thank you doctor Papas for providing this service and for talking my pain away. I’m so grateful to you and the staff.read more

I had severe knee arthritis. I was scheduled for total knee replacement, but thankfully heard about Dr. Torrance and went in for a consult. He evaluated my knee and answered all my questions. Subsequently, Dr. Torrance skillfully performed stem cell procedure, which involved minimal pain. Over several months, I went from a severe 9 or 10 out of 10 knee pain level down to 0. I went from being unable to walk more than a block with pain to walking a mile pain-free. I went from not being able to stand without pain to being able to cook standing for an hour pain-free. I am continuing to improve beyond these activities. I urge anyone considering joint surgery, such as I did, to consider consulting with Dr. Torrance. I highly recommend him, as a professional, caring, informative physician.read more

I am 72 years old and an active tennis player. The cumulative effect of years of activity caused a degeneration of a tendon in my left hip. My orthopedic doctor's only solution was therapy and yoga. Regenexx Dr Papas diagnosed the problem and suggested stem cell therapy. It has been six weeks since my procedure and the results are noticeable. Improved mobility, sustained play without pain, and recovery time have all shown improvement. The improvement and the process are consistent with my expectations and what is described in the Regenexx literature. I anticipate continued improvement in the weeks and months ahead.read more

Miracle results with Platelet Injection from DR. Papas. S-1stenosis had me sleepless with constant sciatica. 30 days after treatment I started improving daily. 3 months later I'm pain free and playing tennis and mountain biking full bore. A pain free 1 hour treatment gave me my life back. See Dr. Papas for your best results.read more

I researched this type of procedure for two years before deciding to go ahead with it. The first time, I made a mistake and as a result my pain remained. This 2nd time, I chose Regenexx because they are the real deal.I had a previous procedure done in Longwood, FL (where I live), and it was a complete sham in comparison. It literally cost me over $5,000 more than Regenexx, who did a much more thorough and indepth consultation. The procedure versus the Longwood practice I went to was as different as night and day. At Regenexx, it felt so professional, friendly, clean, sterile.At the Longwood location, I was asked to lay down on a what looks like a chiropractic table, no one wore gloves, and there was no M.D. involved. A nurse practitioner injected me with 6 shots. I was done in 7 minutes and sent out the door. At Regenexx, the prep and procedure lasted approx two hours. I was well looked after and they walked/talked me through every step of the PRP procedure. Dr. Papas, who is an extraordinary doctor, plus 3 others were present to assist. All wore surgical gloves, masks and gowns.I had the procedure done 9/26/19, and today is 10/5/19. I can honestly say my low back is feeling so much better already. I wasn't even sure that was possible, but each morning I awake, my back pain has lessened. Quite a few hours during the day, I don't experience any pain any longer. Amazing!!! I drove two hours each way to have them do my low back procedure, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Regenexx and especially Dr. Papas!!read more

I am in a unique position with Dr. Ignatios Papas and his staff and Regenexx Tampa Bay. I am a Physical Therapist who treats some of his patients as well as being a patient myself. All the reports his patients give me are 100% accurate. He takes the time with each person, gives full answers and doesn't let you leave without knowing what is going to happen or why. I have had wonderful experiences with him and his staff during my time as both a PT and patient. I 100% recommend Dr. Papas and his staff for any procedure you may be needing.read more

I found Dr. Papas and Regenexx through a family friend after 4+ months of severe back pain. I am in my early 40s and am active and healthy so to have debilitating back pain was a true crutch to my lifestyle. I saw chiropractors, had massages, went to Physical Therapy you name it and nothing was improving. A family friend found a lot of relief from the Regenexx group so I figured I would try it. After a thorough consult with Dr. Papas in the St. Petersburg office it was clear that the PRP (platelet rich plasma) procedure would truly solve my issue. We scheduled it for a month from the consult and the staff walked me through the entire procedure prior to my appointment. The actual procedure start to finish was maybe an hour. I went home and rested that afternoon with very minimal pain. The next day I was able to complete tasks regularly and after 4 weeks I saw extreme improvement. I am now 8 weeks post-procedure and I have ZERO pain. I am slowly easing back into my workout routine and feel great! Thank you to Dr. Papas and his staff for everything. I am so grateful to have my physical health back and could not recommend Regenexx to more people. I feel like a walking testimonial- I am telling everyone about my success story!read more

So thankful I found Regenexx and Dr Papas. I was diagnosed with a bulged and torn L5 disk. Was told by another doctor that a disk replacement was my best option. I found regenexx and had a consult. Two weeks later I had the platelet procedure done. Had it done on a thursday and was back at work on Monday. Now 6 weeks later and feel great. I am back to working out and cycling. I love the fact that they tell you to be active to aid recovery. I can't recommend Dr Papas and the procedure more!read more

At age 71 I sought stem cell to turn the clock back on thumb arthritis and a grade 4 full-thickness tear in the shoulder, both of which were disabling me from playing competitive table tennis. For these objectives I won the lottery by finding Dr. Leiber. At 6 weeks post procedure I am back on the court playing better than ever. AMAZING! Dr. Leiber is the consummate expert in the field of stem cell. I have friends with similar issues who went elsewhere, spent less money, obtained lesser results and are not back on the court. Do your due diligence for sure, and then meet with Dr. Leiber for the best possible outcome.read more

I went into Regenexx on Friday and then Monday, I was back in the office practicing on Tuesday seeing my own patients. Regenexx facility was exceptional, clean, and great staff.

I had doctor Papas and he was such a pleasure to talk with, he humored me on all of my medical questions and did an amazing job explaining everything.

I only wish I had learned of this sooner. In May, 2021 I underwent stem cell treatment on my knee and lower back. In 8 short weeks I have had amazing results. Prior to my treatment I struggled walking more than a mile and had consistent discomfort in most daily activities. My lower back was so painful I was put on array of anti inflammatories that only masked my pain. I love the outdoors and being active. My lifestyle was changing and not for the better. I learned of Regenexx through my employer. I researched and after having 2 hip replacements a few years ago I thought this was a much better option to surgery if I was a candidate.

I had a great experience with Dr Papas and the PRP treatment done on my knee, hip and shoulder (old sports injuries, tears on all of these areas).Dr Papas really listens and meets you were you are. I made him aware of the efforts and programs I was engaging in to help rehab from my injuries. I greatly appreciate that he partners with you to identify what level of support you need and doesn't just treat you like a statistics. I am in my 30s and weight 240, I had PRP done in May 2021.Now to the meat of it, I have/had lateral and medial miniscus tears on my left knee and was looking to having it scoped (I had already scoped my other knee which now has arthiritis). I also had labral tear and some damage to rotator cuff on my shoulder and hip labral tears. I did a lot of research and thought I give Regenexx a shot. I had PRP done previously by a knee surgeon but this was a completely different experience and it is all in the methodology.I was in constant pain on all three areas and had just learned to live with it. I wasn't expecting drastic response was just looking for some pain relieve. To my surprise my hip pain literally went away on day 1, like gone. Something that, IR, Red light therapy, cold lazer, PT, supplements had no impact on.As for my shoulder, this go me scared as I was in pain and had the shoulder popping for the first 4 to 6 weeks post procedure. Dr Papas warned me that this would happen but because of how good my knee and hip felt I was concerned that something had gone wrong. Week 7 all of the popping went away and pain was reduced by 70 to 80 percent.I don't usually give reviews but this has truly been life changing for, I was literally facing knee replacement surgery(yes you read that right). I had been wearing compression knee braces practically 24 hours a day 7 days a week for years and could not lay my leg straight without numbness and pain.I have not worn knee braces since I had the procedure done! I find it weird to walk around in shorts and to be able to see my knees rather than knee braces.I grew up playing sports and lifting, now that I am a parent I feared that I would not be able to coach and do what brought me so much joy with my kids. I don't feel this way anymore.Thank you, Dr Papasread more

I had a great experience with Dr. Papas and the staff at Regenexx Tampa Bay! I sustained a hip labral tear and was able to get evaluated by Dr. Papas, and he recommended a PRP injection to heal the area. After the procedure, PT as well as OMT therapy helped me resume normal activities a few months later, and an ultrasound scan reveals the tear has completely healed. That would not have been possible with physical therapy alone, which is all my GP had recommended. I'm convinced that interventional orthopedics like the treatment I had from Regenexx are a far superior solution to the standard care options offered by most doctors. If you are considering surgery or other treatment for an orthopedic injury of some kind, I highly recommend reaching out to Regenexx for a consultation, because they may be able to help you get back to your normal activities faster, with better long term healing and much less pain.read more

In 2014, at age 70, I had a 50% tear of my semimembranosis tendon behind my knee. I workout regularly, BodyPump, spin and outdoor cycling. I went to Dr. James Leiber at Regenexx, Sarasota, FL and he diagnosed the problem and did two PRP (platelet rich plasma) procedures, a month apart. It got me back to the gym and cycling. This year, age 77, I thought I had injured a muscle in the same leg while cycling. Very painful, Dr. Leiber did an ultrasound, found some minor tearing, and ordered an x-ray and MRI. To our amazement, the original semimembranosis tendon injury from 2014 had completely healed, and the pain from recent cycling was just a minor strain which went away with a some rest. He is extremely knowledgeable, skillful, asks great questions, and listens. I am fortunate to have him as my go-to for problems like this. His leading-edge Regenexx technology enables me to maintain a very active lifestyle.read more

A few years ago, I had a right rotator cuff stem cell procedure done by Dr James Leiber. The exam before the operation showed my rotator cuff was 90% torn. The exam also showed my right labrum was torn. The procedure was done in his out patient office. The operation was non-evasive (pain-free).I wore a shoulder sling for a few days then was given the go to take it off. I lifted my arm above my shoulders and there was no pain. For the next few weeks, I went to physical therapy to strengthen my shoulder and it wasn’t long before before my therapist excused me for everyday activities.I highly recommend Dr.James Leiber to you for any stem cell procedure that deals with any kind of possible orthopedic challenge you could be facing. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my life.John Finchread more

I have had three days of recovery and have only used Tylenol to keep the post procedure comfortable as I am healing. I can tell already that the mobility in my hands has returned.

I consider Dr. Papas, his team and Regenexx the gold standard in orthobiologics. Within a 3-year period, I’ve had multiple areas treated with stem cells, PRP, Platelet Lysate (for my back) and most recently my own fat.I started seeing Dr. Papas for OMT. In the process we discussed some pain I was still having with my hamstring, wrist and hip which was waking me at night. He suggested a fat injection for my wrist and hamstring and PRP for my hip. Ultrasound showed my hamstring had considerable wear. I had a 60 to 70 percent tear in my hamstring before having stem cells with Regenexx in 2018. OMT was for a rib sliding and irritating a nerve causing a sharp pain in my chest. Dr. Papas is such a skilled OMT provider and with adjustments and PRP injected where the rib connects to my spine to strengthen it, the sharp pain has eased off tremendously. I’m now over 6 weeks post procedures and 90% pain free!! No more waking at night from hip pain!It’s very comforting to know that I can have future problems treated by Dr. Papas. He’s earned my trust and he and his team make you feel as comfortable as possible before and during your procedure. He’s very knowledgeable and professional with a caring and calm approach. Takes time to answer all questions and explain procedures. I urge anyone considering orthopedic surgery or dealing with joint pain to see Dr. Papas first. It may not be covered by insurance, but I consider it an investment in my health both physically and mentally. And at 71, I want to stay as active as I can. I’m back to enjoying activities I thought I’d have to give up. I had just about given up on my arthritic wrist thinking I would need surgery and now I’m back to including full body pushups in my work outs. Thank you so much, Dr. Papas and team!!read more

I came to Regenexx and meant with Dr. Papas in early March 2021. I suffered a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma 10-30-2019. I had been told my current state of pain and inability to do everyday life was probably my best prognosis. Dr. Papas did the most thorough and informative exam I had had since my life changing event. He suggested Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment as a possible option to help me. He was very up front with me, stating My situation was a little unique.My first treatment was March 16th and I felt gradual improvement. By May I was walking with less pain and able to do more upright activities which I felt was about 70% improvement. I had a second treatment last week. I am looking forward to seeing how much farther my usefulness of my neck and mid back will improve.Thank you Dr. Papas and your team at Regenexx, Tampa Bay.Sheryl Runionread more

Prior to seeing Dr. Leiber I had considerable back pain that limited my daily activities. I have had several successful platelet and stem cell procedures with him that have enabled me to live a fairly pain-free life. Dr. Leiber and his staff are personable and totally professional. I highly recommend anyone considering platelet/stem cell treatments contact Regenerexx.read more

It has been one year since I had my procedure done on my knee and I would have to say that I currently have no pain and am playing pickleball three times a week, golfing three times a week and riding my bicycle 10 miles five days a week. One year ago I was walking with a cane my pain was so intense.Ted Wilsonread more

It was comforting knowing there was someone on staff helping me with every step of the way. Once I made my decision, I was given a great deal of information regarding each procedure. If ever a question arose, the support staff was there to answer my concerns.The healing process went along nicely and I was very pleased with the results of my stem cell procedure. I continue to do my physical therapy exercises and I am more mobile than I was before.From the very pleasant reception to the follow-up appointments, Dr. Papas and his staff couldn’t be more informative and friendly. I highly recommend Regenexx if you experience joint pain.read more

I had my initial consultation with Dr. Torrance and I was so very impressed. I am a Physical Therapist and I was so glad to see the amount of time he spent explaining to me what he saw, what he thought, what he thought was the best next step, and even the risks and benefits of that next step. From that moment on the staff has just been incredible. They promptly called me and got me scheduled for my procedure, provided me with answers to my questions, and sent me over all the information I needed! I'm eager to see whether this is going to be my "saving grace" but I highly recommend Regenexx and Dr. Torrance! He has excellent bedside manner, wonderful ability to answer my questions (even the science specific ones!), and is making the whole process as easy as he can!read more

I had 4 areas treated - multiple tears in my shoulder [including the rotator cuff tendon complex and labrum], ankle, and wrist, as well as hip flexor tendonitis. I've been an athlete all my life and have had the attendant injuries that come with sports. I'm still, though in my 60s, extremely active - surfing, snowboarding, basketball, wind and kite surfing, football, running, golf, tennis, and pickleball [and willing to try anything]. The goal was to continue all these endeavors without limitation, while avoiding the pitfalls and extended rehab of multiple surgeries. Goal accomplished. I'm doing extremely well, now a little more than 3 months post-stem cell procedures. I'm very pleased and know that I will continue to improve even beyond where I am now. I have Dr. Leiber and his staff to thank for my progress, healing, and significant improvement. From day one, they have been first class in every respect. And Dr. Leiber is just a great individual - a physician who is very skilled and truly interested in your success. I could not be more thankful.read more

I had the plasma injections on my lower back 6 weeks ago. The day after the procedure, I felt like I’d been poked several times by a needle, but that’s it, and then since then have felt great. No lower back pain whatsoever, and I was a paratrooper for 11 years with 4 bulging disks in my lumbar region. Thanks Dr. Leiber and team!!!read more

In April of 2018, I had injections of Amniofix in both of my knees to treat issues of swelling, stiffness, and "noise" - popping, cracking, grinding. Although they didn't hurt, my knees felt unstable in general. The treatment was performed by Dr. Leiber. In a week I was back to my regular activities, and exercising. My knees felt great. Now, 19 months later, I'm still as active, knees feel good, and I only experience creaking or popping if I don't exercise regularly. No more swelling or stiffness. I feel fortunate to have "discovered" Regenexx and Dr. Leiber's team. Since 2018, four other family members have had multiple joints treated by Dr. Leiber, mostly using stem cells, with results that I'm certain no surgery could have produced.read more

My shoulder was in rough shape. It felt fine as long as I did not do anything with it. Once I had the procedure done and then completed the rehab, my shoulder is really healthy now. It is up to about 95% strength now. I can lift bags of concrete. I can do push ups too. Not a bunch of them, but I couldn't even do 2 before.read more

I had a torn labrum in my hip and did not want to have surgery. I found Dr. Leiber. He went through my history thoroughly and then I went for an exam. He advised that my best option would be stem cell therapy. I had the procedure done in 2014 and I am about 90% of where I was before the injury. I didn't realize how much pain I was in until I wasn't in pain any longer. And the relief was almost immediate. He is extremely knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anyone. If I had another injury, I'd do it again.read more
