we're hearing more and more about stem cell treatments and this is
actual footage of my ortho treatment from this weekend so you can learn more about
this exciting new science. i'll be posting videos of the cardiac treatment as well as
future updates so subscribe to my channel if you want to track this progress with me.
i was the proverbial 98 pound freshman starting high school i hit the iron and i graduated at a
solid 175 pounds later. i graduated at college at 185 pounds and 6% body fat. i had a hernia
at 21 and i also had another repair at 46. i was strong as an ox in my youth which was great except
the fact that the muscles were probably stronger than what the joints were really made to handle so
the joints have had continued pain and degradation and soreness over the years
despite adapting to more of a lower weight high rep workout plan with a much stricter form
and obviously that makes it very difficult to work out and keep healthy if your joints are always
hurting. this video was filmed at anti-aging and regenerative associates in port orange florida
and the treatment was given by a guy that i've known for at least 15 years dr jason schottel
and it's been really exciting to watch him build this business from the ground up over the last
few years. tell me what you're looking for any joints any injuries that you want to address.
yeah both knees and both shoulders have given me a lot of grief lately
like when i do squats anymore if i don't do at least 30 40 reps of just the bar
they just hurt like hell i'm going up from there so the knees are just you know from lifting over
the years. um shoulders uh you know like even just to sleep on and stuff they get a little bit sore
so if there's anything we can do in in more of the anterior region as well that seems to be
bugging me more. i'm going to mix stem cells with prp which is platelet-rich plasma. i'm going to
draw come over and draw more blood out of you okay then what we're going to do is we spin
that blood. blood doping? yeah guys yeah so what you're doing is so when i pull the blood it's red
yeah i put it in a special centrifuge spin it down so it splits the red then you'll see the yellow.
yeah i get rid of the red you don't use it the red the yellow what we have is what's called your
platelet it's basically those are your platelets okay we spin that back down to get your platelet
rich plasma okay platelet-rich plasma are where all your growth factors are. growth factors such
as tissue growth factor platelet derived growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor
and that's going to create more blood supply. on the prp what we're going to be doing here is uh
drawing quite a bit of blood and using almost none of it okay except to get the prp out of it
so which is the plasma yeah straight as you can keep that arm for a second just
get this blood out of you okay okay one two.
i put five cc's of an anticoagulant which is called sodium citrate so the blood doesn't clot
while i'm pulling all this up. oh good. one two three and out hold pressure for me huh so that's
what we'll shoot in the joints. mix a little bit of the stem cell put as much as i can in each
joint so that's going to be from an orthopedic perspective. just relax your legs though.
is that a topical or just a sanitizer? oh that's just standard sanitizer chlorhexidine.
oh okay. this is your numbing agent actually just use a simple numbing agent okay because
feel it colds the skin it's already one two three cold. wow yeah way cold real cold.
all right you ready one two good. oh gosh should i be relaxing? just chill relax we're done and
that's it we're done done with that one. yeah okay i got a little deeper than i thought it would.
that's gonna get a joint yeah yeah you gotta get in the joint i agree no ibuprofen no ice
aspirin um no aspirin tylenol you can take for right now for right now for the next for the
next 48 hours i don't want anything to be done to decrease the inflammatory process.
okay you're right just relax for me one two
good
so you can feel that your scapula yeah this is what we call the spine
of the scapula okay then it runs right into the acromion which is here okay
so here once i find that i find this here i can put three fingers down then i make my that's my
dumbbell mark so i know where to go. take a deep breath in take a deep breath out and here we go
good.
you don't have to do anything i either can go here or go here but the needle's going to end up in the
same spot. the reason i don't go here i can is there's a lot of anatomy right here a lot of real
estate there's your subclavian vein there's your brachial plexus which controls blood supply and
there's supply to everything down. if i come here there's nothing i'm just getting in the joint.
three good for everything in your life. yeah that's true. later on we'll see how all this
goes then i'll write you a prescription you'll do that at home as more an injection throughout
the body. then what you do is like 20 days on just do as a little subcutaneous like an insulin
okay needle injection and then 20 days. well this is a regenerative
standpoint so usually i tell people 30 60 90. you know the first 30 days what
do we have going on you know some people do really well sometimes it's up and down. it's
you know it's i don't feel a lot better it's 90 days it's 90 days so that's what we'll do.
thanks for watching hope you enjoyed and learned something about stem cells and subscribe to my
channel if you want to continue to track progress with me over the next few months.
