Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter presents a patient testimonial: a 62-year-old competitive bowler with moderate bilateral knee arthritis and ~60 pounds of excess weight sought to avoid knee replacement.

Approximately 10 months after her most recent treatment her knee pain is reported as zero and she has lost about 60 pounds, returning to her prior activities (bowling).

She has had friends who've had knee replacements and they've never been able to bowl again. She really didn't want surgery and so she could no longer do what she loves. She's a 62 year old woman. She came to us with moderate bilateral arthritis. She'd been told she needed a knee replacement. She actually is a competitive bowler and she has had friends who've had knee replacements and they've never been able to bowl again and so she really was interested in not doing that. She's also about 60 pounds overweight, having a really hard time with her metabolism. She really didn't want surgery and so she could no longer be what she loves. She decided one of our joint wellness and vitality packages. She's been our patient for almost a year now. We did several focused biologics therapies for her knees. Her knee pain now is zero. I think 10 months after her most recent treatment she has lost that 60 pounds and she's kind of back to doing everything that she needs to do.
