Orange County, CA (PRWEB) January 06, 2014 Top West Coast Stem Cell Clinic, TeleHealth, is now offering stem cell injections for ligament sprains. This includes injuries of the ankle, knee, wrist and other extremity joints. Board Certified doctors administer the outpatient injections which can help patients heal quicker than conventional treatments. For more information and scheduling, call (888) 828-4575. In adults, ligament sprains can take months to heal due to limited blood supply and healing potential. This can keep athletes off the field and inhibit the ability of even recreational athletes to walk and run without pain. Conventional pain relief treatments are able to provide pain relief. This may include steroid injections or anti-inflammatories by mouth. However, these treatments do not alter the course of the healing. With the advent of regenerative medicine treatments, the potential exists for quicker healing.

Platelet rich plasma therapy, known as PRP therapy, involves a simple blood draw from the patient. The blood is spun in a centrifuge, which concentrates the platelets and growth factors. These are then injected into the area of ligament injury. With the fat … Continue reading →

Group members, ranging from sufferers aunts and grandmothers to those living with the disorder themselves, each gave advice based on their own experiences offering fellow group members a common sentiment: Youre not alone.

Jenny McCarthy takes part in a panel discussion at the NBC Universal Summer Press Day 2012 introducing new television shows for the Summer season in Pasadena, California.Reuters Jenny McCarthy is furious over rumors circulating that she claimed her son Evan, 11, doesnt have autism according to Us magazine. The reports are odd considering the 41-year-old personality has spoken publicly of her son's condition over the years and has been an outspoken and passionate advocate for autism awareness and treatment. "Stories circulating online, claiming that I said my son Evan may not have autism after all, are blatantly inaccurate and completely ridiculous," McCarthy tweeted on Jan. 3. "Evan was diagnosed with autism by the Autism Evaluation Clinic at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital and was confirmed by the State of California (through their Regional Center). The implication that I have changed my position, that my child was not initially diagnosed with autism (and instead may suffer from Landau-Kleffner Syndrome), is both irresponsible and inaccurate." "These stories cite a 'new' Time Magazine interview with me, which was actually published in 2010, that never contained any such statements by me, she wrote.
