ProActive: The Regenerative Orthopedics Program Designed to Ensure Peak Performance Well Beyond Middle-Age.

Download the PDF Version or Kindle eBook

As we grow older, our body begins to send us warning messages. When these messages are ignored, small musculoskeletal problems can spiral out of control and leave us sidelined from doing the activities we love. The Regenexx ProActive program provides practical advice on understanding these warning signs and taking action to maintain peak performance through middle-age and beyond. ProActive explains how the use of biologic treatments, such as stem cells and blood platelet procedures, can help return joints and the spine to a healthy state before things go awry, ensuring that small problems don’t go from bad to worse.

Written by Dr. Chris Centeno, ProActive includes hyperlinks to more detailed information and related research that supports the Regenexx ProActive program’s approach to maintaining health, fitness and well-being throughout our middle and later years of life.

The Spine Owner’s Manual - How to Avoid Back Pain & Life Altering Surgery

Download the PDF Version or Kindle eBook

Written by Dr. Chris Centeno, this e-book delves into the spine and how it functions within the human musculoskeletal system and the body as a whole. Everything within the body works together, like a precisely tuned symphony, to support our well-being, and a healthy spine and all of its component parts (e.g., spinal nerves, ligaments, muscles, etc.) are critical to full-body health. When a single component in the spinal chain is damaged, it can lead to a cascade of problems not only in the musculoskeletal system but throughout the body and even further spinal damage when it goes untreated. The result is chronic pain anywhere in the body that with the proper diagnostic approach can be traced back to the damage in the spine.
