1:31 - Dr. Scollon-Grieve talks about the new office she opened in Wayne. She and her colleges opened this office with the goal of serving patients interested in their health and wellness, including regenerative medicine. Her office takes care of patients who want to avoid surgery by finding alternative methods.


What is Regenexx all about?


3:04 - Regenexx is an international company that develops palette rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell treatment/protocols that diverge from the traditional way of doing things.


What is the difference between the old technique and the new technique?


5:04 - The new technique only requires one injection to see results, whereas the old technique required multiple injections to be effective.


Who are you treating and how long does it take?


8:20 - All ages. Dr. Scollon-Grieve describes how she helps patients who want to avoid surgery. In many cases, the recovery time is much shorter than it would be if the patient had gotten surgery.


When do you use PRP versus Stem Cells?


9:52 - It depends on the injury. For more severe cases, both are used. For more mild cases, just PRP is used.


What kind of patient would be a good candidate for PRP/Stem Cells?


13:06 - PRP is a good choice for patients with chronic tendon or ligament issues and those that have problems with their spines that could not be remedied elsewhere. Stem cells (or, bone marrow) is a good choice for patients with arthritis or more server rotator cuff tears.
