It is estimated that more than 100 million Americans are suffering from chronic pain. Chronic pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. Dr. Ramon Castellanos is hoping to reduce those numbers with his state of the art pain management practice in South Miami.
Dr. Castellanos is an Orthopedic Physician and is board certified in pain and rehabilitation. He is a Founder and Medical Director at StemCell USA and an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgical Science at Florida International University School of Medicine.
His practice is the only of its kind to offer a full spectrum of regenerative medicine including stem cells from fat, bone marrow and platelet rich plasma (PRP). The office also utilizes Biologics from placenta, umbilical cord and exosomes to not only mask pain but to actually treat it.
“The last decade has been the most exiting and rewarding experience of my life,” said Dr. Castellanos. “Every day we expand our armamentarium with new cells or Biologics allowing us to take control of painful conditions with new treatments.”
Stem cells have ability to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth and they can restore and regenerate making them a powerful tool in pain management. Biologics are a special class of effective drugs that can slow or even stop the progression of joint damage. They do not mask the pain but rather target the underlying cause leading to pain relief and reduced damage. Both procedures are considered very safe. Dr. Castellanos has done more than 5,500 treatments of stem cell or Biologics and has not seen any adverse side effects.
It is known that pain is the result of tissue injury, and traditional medicine aims to mask the symptoms with meds such as opioids, which are highly addictive, therapy and surgery, but only the Biologics and stem cell treatment can regenerate the tissues and repair the damage. Dr. Castellanos focus is to treat pain by actually modifying the disease. While he most often treats patients with degenerative Osteoarthritis of the knee or spine, he is successfully treating all kinds of pain whether it is cartilage, tendon or nerve pain. The treatment he offers has proven extremely effective in the management of long-term pain.
Patients who visit Dr. Castellanos have usually had their condition previously diagnosis by another physician and seek him out for pain management relief but the doctor re-evaluates all of his patient to determine what treatment would be most effective.
