Another Professional Athlete turns to Stem Cell Therapy
Recently in the news, C.C. Sabathia of the New York Yankees was put on the disabled list to undergo evaluation for a knee injury. (05-15-2014)
The Yankees manager Brian Cashman reported on Thursday, “His knee stability is fine, so there’s no ligament damage or anything like that,” Cashman said. “His knee is stable, but he does have some degenerative changes. What does that mean? He has some cartilage breakdown that is occurring. We have current players, and we’ve had past players, that have dealt with this in the past.”
The renowned orthopedic surgeon and stem cell therapy advocate, Dr. James Andrews will be treating CC Sabathia’ knee with the same stem cell injection therapy we’re familiar with here at Weston Medical Clinic. The objective of the stem cell therapy is to introduce the stem cells that can help to restore the degenerative tissue to avoid surgery.
Stem Cell Therapy isn’t just for the Pros
Its been proven that this therapy works to heal the cartilage tissue, which reduces inflammation and pain while improving range of motion. For athletes this can save their career because it prevents surgery and gets them back on the field. For our patients it can save them thousands of dollars, and months of rehabilitation.
Stem cell therapy is well researched and extremely effective at preventing surgery for a fraction of the cost. Many insurance carriers are covering the procedures as a therapeutic alternative to surgery. Here at Weston Medical Clinic we focus on using stem cell therapy for knee injuries and arthritis like conditions.
