Stuck between “live with it” and surgery? In this episode, Dr. David Greene founder of R3 Stem Cell—maps a practical middle path. Hear how candidacy is decided (no pressure), why many procedures are image-guided for accuracy, and what recovery really looks like over 30–90 days: simple activity progressions, two or three strength moves, and habits that help results stick. We cover who may benefit (knee/hip/shoulder pain, tendon/ligament issues, mild moderate arthritis, select nerve entrapments) and how progress is tracked by real-world wins walking farther, sleeping better, moving without guarding. Get timelines, costs, and smart questions to ask any provider so you can choose confidently.
