Grateful for the time he spent with me, and yet I am still uncertain of which area to tackle with initial non-invasive treatments. Don't recall about Tenex...what kind of treatment is that? I will search the website. Also not sure what is meant by orthobiological intervention. What is the Lumbar MBB that would be before RFA ? (I am aware of what the RFA is).
“Discussion of imaging findings, and possible treatment options.”

I sought out Dr. Desai after receiving a diagnosis of carpel tunnel syndrome and arthritis. I had been told that surgery would be required, but Dr. Desai offered an alternative that not only gave me good results with the carpel tunnel, but mitigated the arthritis pain. Not going under the knife meant less recovery time, less pain, and less trauma. Desai helps the body to heal itself, a sane approach!
“Provided unexpected medical alternative to surgery”

I was dealing with extreme neck pain that went on for three weeks. It wasn't getting better with heat or ice. I made the decision to seek assistance from Dr. Desai at RestorePDX. He did an examination and ordered imaging. I found out I have arthritis in my neck. Dr. Desai determined an injection in my neck would assist in making my neck feel better. I have dealt with lumbar and cervical spine pain for years and was recommended I schedule an appointment at Restorepdx by a friend who had a stem cell procedure. It was recommended that I have prolotheropy injections to relieve the pain I've been having. I really feel like I have my life back after my injections and I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at Restorepdx.

The end of July I had the stem cell procedure for my lower back. I've been experiencing extreme lower back pain that would radiate to my hips...it limited my life a lot. It's only been 8 weeks since then, but I'm already feeling better, moving better and am so happy with my results so far. Just had my follow up Zoom appointment with Dr. Desai; I really appreciate his concern and care. He listens to what I say and I have a lot of confidence in his abilities. Highly recommend him to anyone needing some relief. I just wish I would have done this sooner.

Before the procedure, I was in constant discomfort. An Xray and MRI both showed degenerative disc disease which was causing muscle tension and spasming in upper back and neck. Now, 5 months after the treatment I am at least 80% symptom free. I feel very confident in Dr. Desai's treatment plan.
“I am so glad to have had Stem Cell Treatment. My pain is nearly gone.”
