I’ve worked in clinical research for years and I find it incredibly hard to believe Centeno wouldn’t at least be doing retrospective chart reviews and publishing results if results were statistically significant. Publishing peer reviewed studies would even be great for his marketing and for obtaining FDA approval or EUA. I find it very strange…

Anecdotal experience does not mean something is common. That’s great your daughter has improved, I hope there are many more experiences like this. From what I’ve seen, most of the criticism sent towards Regenexx has to do with the way they advertise their services, the process they use, and the lack of willingness to adhere to basic research standards to actually move the science forward as opposed to gatekeeping all of it and releasing whatever information serves his purpose. From my limited interactions with Centeno I find him wildly unprofessional, but I hope he or anyone else can help more suffering patients in a way that is more widely successful, more transparent, and doesn’t require liquidating your retirement.

Hey proof_draft, thanks for the shout, hope you are well.
I strive to be fair and open-minded, though I'll admit I'm not always perfect, that's for sure!
The first link, iPSCell.com, is a blog by Dr. Paul Knoepfler, professor at UC Davis and a stem cell scientist.
https://health.ucdavis.edu/cellbio/faculty/knoepfler/
Don't know him personally, but seems like a great guy, and his website is a good resource for patients considering stem cells or other regen med stuff. Stellar resource for patients.
Hopefully we have a good treatment, potentially cure one day, and both this sub and mine ( r/cervical_instability ) become useless. That will be a good day.
Until then, hope everybody is hanging in there. It's not an easy condition.... I live it everyday myself have for many years.
I'll catch you another time✌️

Yup Kaiser tends to do that. Who was the doctor was it Dr.Hung or Kim. They are asses tbh
I had PRP in my neck and didnt notice any difference, felt like i threw away $1,300.
The only thing that has helped my neck pain is nerve ablation, I get it done every 6ish months. I have alot of hypermobility in my neck but no obvious structural issues to my spine in that area, so its mostly ligament issues, inflammation, and nerve irritation, but it causes severe issues for me.

Helped me majorly (stem cells and prp) I didn’t go down the alignment AO route

You do not need an alignment before treatment, or ever to be honest. I would ask your PRP MD if working with a chiropractor is safe before having any adjustments done on your neck, people with CCI are at a higher risk for being injured by adjustments.
