140: Dr. Christopher Centeno on Surgery Avoidance & Injury Recovery Using Stem Cells Feb 26, 2018

Show notes

I am here today with Dr. Christopher Centeno, MD, who is an international expert and specialist in regenerative medicine. He’s at the forefront of research on using adult stem cells in orthopedics to repair common injuries and provide an alternative to painful and invasive surgery.

I’m just starting to learn about the huge potential of stem cell therapy for helping us (and our kids) recover from sports injuries, joint issues, and (one day) maybe even traumatic injuries — all by promoting healing from within in a very targeted way.

Stem Cells Instead of Surgery? Dr. Centeno Explains

Ever heard of umbilical cord blood banking? It’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to potential ways to harness the natural healing abilities of stem cells.

Dr. Christopher Centeno is board certified in physical medicine as well as rehabilitation and pain management. He is also one of the few physicians in the world with extensive experience in the use of adult stem cells to treat orthopedic injuries such as torn ACLs, injured rotator cuffs, and more. This is cutting-edge research with huge implications for the next generation.

If you have a son or daughter in sports (or if you’ve just ever wished for an alternative to surgery!), hear why stem cell therapy may be the future of medicine.

In This Episode You’ll Learn

how stem cells work in the body (and why scientists are interested)
recent advances in regenerative medicine … and what might be coming to a doctor’s office near you
the technique doctors like Dr. Centero use to target specific areas of the body with healing stem cells
common orthopedic injuries and conditions stem cell therapy can help (and which it can’t … yet!)
whether kids really heal more quickly than adults … and what happens to our stem cells as we age
if umbilical cord blood banking is really worth it
reasons to reevaluate how we introduce our kids to sports
and more!
