StemCures

I met with Dr. Atluri about stem cell injection for my spinal disc. I am a very active person and I had been dealing with degenerative disc disease which made it difficult to continue to be as active as I wished. I had explored epidural injections in the past and they only helped about 20% with the pain and after about 3 months the pain returned to normal. I had heard about Stem cell injections and the amount of success people were benefiting from this treatment. Dr. Atluri was one of the few Dr's in town if not the only one that I could find that was currently practicing with Stem Cell injections into the disc. I met with Dr. Atluri and after the first consultation felt very confident in his practice. I scheduled to have the Stem cell injections back in November 2017. I was very pleased with his practice and felt confident with my choice in moving forward with the procedure. It is now over 90 days since my injection and I am happy to say that my body has responded to the injection tremendously. I have zero pain radiating down my legs, no numbing, and I have started back into an exercise program and training for cycling races once again, something i had to stop doing because of the pain prior to the injection. Stem Cell is the cutting edge for pain management and I am happy to say I am 90% pain free and still seem to be improving over time. I am very happy I made my decision move forward with Dr. Atluri as my Dr. I would recommend him and I have recommended him to others since my procedure.

Dr Atluri has worked with me for about three years regarding prior hip surgeries of both hips, two prior lower back surgeries, one left total knee reconstruction, and one left shoulder reconstruction. When Dr Atluri got more involved with my back due to the prior surgeries he suggested that I have the stem cell procedure done which it has been a blessing. After 9 weeks I have gone from a wheelchair to walking on my own, he is the best!!!!

At about age 32, I started suffering from lower back pain. It was typically a lingering soreness after doing projects around the house or physical activity with my kids. Over the next few years it progressed to the point where I had tried different pain medications and muscle relaxers. The next step was steroid injections. After 3 steroid injections, the condition kept worsening. Physical therapy was also a dead end. At age 35, it got so bad, I would occasionally stand up from a chair and fall to the ground from a sharp pain, unable to get up until I composed myself and rested for awhile. Three of my toes were numb all the time. Dr. Atluri had started doing stem cell injections around this time, and it sounded like a great solution for me, but I had hesitations due to the cost. Eventually, I came around and decided to take my life back. I scheduled the procedure for March 2018. I actually remember some of the procedure, and it was relatively comfortable except for a couple of the stem cell injection sites. The procedure was quick, but my recovery was not quite as fast as most. I was in quite a bit of pain the first week, then the second week I started to feel better. My progress was slow the first couple months. It was better than it was and I didn't have sharp debilitating pain anymore, but I was still sore. From about 3-5 months, I was 50% better, then Dr. Atluri told me to try physical therapy again. It was the same stuff I had done before, but this time, I felt immediate relief after going on the traction machine. After 3 sessions on the traction machine, I was 100% better. I give the stem cells 99% of the credit and the traction machine the last 1%. I have been 100% better for over 2 years now. I work hard on home improvement projects and I have 4 kids to keep up with. I went from barely being able to do anything to 0 limitations. I would do it again, and I recommend it to everyone I know who has back pain. I honestly feel like I've been given a new life. To think back to where I was, I can't help but think of it as a miracle. In reality, Dr. Atluri is the best and he healed me! I cannot imagine a doctor having drastically changed more lives for the better. Update: I think it's been nearly 7 years now and I'm still pain free in my lower back.

I had back surgery in July of 2021 to relieve sciatic pain that involved the entire left leg, and the surgery did nothing to relieve the pain. My pain stayed at 9-10 on the pain scale and my mobility was severely compromised. The surgeon wanted to do a spinal fusion.I met with Dr. Atluri and he explained how stem cell therapy could help. I had the procedure and within 2 weeks, I could feel less pain. At 2 months I am pain free and walking without any difficulty! I am very happy with being pain free after a year of misery!

My wife Laura has been having knee pain for a long time and some doctors were wanting to do knee replacement. We did not want to do knee replacement due to concerns around other issues. We were referred to Dr Atluri by another doctor who actually sent a relative to Dr Atluri. The procedure was done and after the expected soreness from the procedure the pain was greatly reduced. It has been approximately 3 months since the stem cell injection (from her own body) and it keeps getting better and better. Her level of activity is greatly increased due to the lack of knee pain. This was by far the best solution for my wife and we are very happy that we kept looking for a solution. The longevity of the stem cell injection procedure compared to the cost and related issues with knee replacement definitely makes stem cell injection the way Dr Atluri did it, the far wiser choice.
