Has been life changing to have relief from pain with no surgery. Previous surgeon had told me "to come back when I couldn't walk any more". Injections relieved pain and made it possible for me to do strength training and now I don't even think about my back. Just road 80 miles on my bike! Livin' the dream!

Amazing Gift to receive this work at its cutting edge. I have a 40+year old knee injury involving multiple tissues and with this work I am now 75% better and avoiding a knee replacement. I know that it will continue to improve and will continue to get booster platelets to support that every 6-12 months. Thank-you so very very much. My Doctor is extremely knowledgable and competent and would highly recommend this process. I hope the insurance companies will get own board and cover this much needed and beneficial procedure.

Life changing
Friendly, knowledgeable and thorough in your treatment. My ankle was so deteriorated that I was in near constant pain, and needed a cane and a boot before Regenexx. I was unable to "do" normal life. At nearly the 9th month mark, I've already hiked 80 miles in 2 weeks, I'm back to lifting, and walking/jogging/running. Pain is extremely minimal and only during major barometric pressure changes. Best decision I've ever made. Life changing.

After years of trying various injection, NSAIDS , external products
and qualifying for knee replacement, I opted for both stem cell and platlett rich plasma therapy. I no longer suffer from the morning knee stiffness and pain. My walking and standing is no longer an issue. My knees feel 20 years younger. I believe that the Regenexx providers are the best trained, and educated in their field. The strict protocols they follow allow for better outcomes then those without sufficient detail. 100% satisfied.

Severe Osteoarthritis......
Both of my knees had severe osteoarthritis and, I was told by two orthopedic surgeons that my best recourse was to undergo knee replacements on both knees based on my X-Rays and MRI's. They said that I don't have anymore cartilage on my knees (bone on bone). It is a good thing that I didn't listen to them. I found REGENEXX through online research and actually waited for a year to have the REGENNEX procedure done. I had been reading all the patient comments and ratings before I decided to finally do it. It has been over a year now since my procedure and, all the pains on both knees associated with severe osteoarthritis is over. I just hope that it will last for a long period of time. I actually have recommended them to my friends and some of them have done the same thing I did. Excellent job REGENNEX !!!!!

Many thanks to Dr. Thakral, Health Link, and Regenexx
If I hadn't discovered Regenexx, I would probably be back in my wheelchair! Having survived an auto/pedestrian accident and months of physical therapy, I was told that my only option was a full replacement of my right knee and surgical repair of the meniscus and ligaments of my left knee. I was only able to walk a half block until experiencing severe pain from my knees and right hip, and stairs were impossible for me, as I also had pain from a broken shoulder and right hand. I had given up hope of having a normal life. When asked about possible alternatives to surgery, my orthopedic surgeon suggested that I might try stem cell therapy, but knew very little about it. With much research, I found glowing reviews of Regenexx/Health Link, and made an appointment with the Beverly Hills office. Dr Thakral spent over one hour explaining my options and his recommended treatment using my own platelets and stem cells, and what to expect in terms of recovery. The office staff is very friendly and kind, and the office is bright and clean. The procedures were I won't say that the bone marrow extraction was painless, but the pain was bearable, and the results are definitely worth it, as I experience a steady improvement in function and almost no pain. I now walk for miles, painlessly; ascend and descend stairs with no hip or knee pain; work out on an eliptical trainer, and with free weights daily, do Pilates, and can open jars and bottles without assistance -- none of which was previously possible. I highly recommend stem cell therapy, Dr. Thakral, and Health Link. Thank you for giving me back my life.

Dr. Cohen in Oceanside, CA is GREAT!
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Ronald Cohen in Oceanside, CA in July 2016. He is great!! He explained everything carefully and is totally honest in his assessments. In my situation, he said I was a fair to good candidate for a stem cell procedure for my knee and that I would experience at least a 50% reduction in pain. I have experienced a 70-75% reduction in pain and am very grateful to have had the stem cell procedure for my knee instead of a total knee replacement.

Great company with a very important and valuable service. I've been to them 5 times to treat so many of my old injuries. They have a good staff and much experience with stem cell and PRP therapy.
