Dr. Crider and the entire staff at AVL Regenerative Orthopedics are awesome. They were immediately reachable whenever I have had concerns. I've had back pain since I was 50. Then when I got into my 70s it all intensified. I had arthritis, bulging discs, spinal narrowing and overall degeneration. Dr. Crider understood and was compassionate of the pain I was experiencing. I've received three treatments - each addressing a different issue with a different or combination of procedures. The PRP injections in the SI joints and lower back have allowed me to get back to gardening and yard work. I am very, very thankful to have found Dr. Crider and regenerative medicine. More
I had a bad parachute landing while serving in the U.S. Airborne in 2002. As I aged it progressively worsened. It would give out, pop, and had limited mobility. In 2019 I had the meniscus "cleaned out". It was worse than before, more pain and instability. My doctor said if the pain does not go away, that the next step would be a knee replacement. I was 53 yrs old. My wife found Regenexx. My goal was where I could walk without pain. At this time my knee was basically bone on bone. I had the stem cell therapy in Apr 2022. Platelet Rich Plasma in Nov 2022 on that knee, a meniscus tear on other knee and my lower back which has been problematic since the 2002 injury. The difference was amazing. I can actually walk with stability and use stairs without having to "limp" along waiting for the excruciating pain to hit me. After a week of the PRP, the meniscus tear and my sore back quit hurting! Can't wait to see what I can do in year from now! More
Dr. Crider listens well and provided a therapy of PRP vs. stem cells for my rotator cuff injury. It has been 8 weeks since the treatment along with PT and my strength is coming back with almost full range of motion. Feels about 90 percent currently. I strongly recommend exploring PRP or stem cells before surgery. More
