I would like to clarify. I did not get stem cell injections for my back. I got a stem cell procedure (IV) for chronic pain (fibromyalgia). Dr. Kenneth Pettine also performed two level ADR at the C5-7 using the mobi-C and a fusion at my L5-S1 due to osteoporosis. I was scheduled to get ADR in the lumbar but it was to risky. My intentions were to go to Europe but when I fought insurance and won on my third appeal I didn't see the point of spending 50K going to Europe for the M6's and fusion when I could get the Mobi-C and fusion here for $25.00. The stem cells actually helped in the healing process and I am now pain-free.
