Description
The field of regenerative medicine has made great strides, in recent years, to become established as credible and effective treatment for joint and spine degeneration. While stem cell research has been controversial in the past, the FDA regulates its use, and the process is quite safe. So why is Europe is so far ahead of the US in embracing the benefits of this technology?Neurosurgeon, Jeffrey Gross, wanted to explore the area of regenerative medicine, so he went back to get the training needed to be able to treat patients in his medical practice. His passion and enthusiasm is palpable, as he and his colleagues know the value in giving the body what it needs to heal itself. The world of regenerative and anti-aging medicine is fascinating, and it holds much promise in the prevention and halting the progression of disease.
