How CPI treats this with stem cells

CPI treats degenerative disc disease and spine related pain with stem cells, using hypoxic mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs. The goal of regenerative treatment is to target the source of the problem rather than only managing the symptoms, which is why many people look into it before committing to back or neck surgery. 

CPI is a hospital licensed by COFEPRIS, Mexico’s federal health regulator, and it runs an ISO 9001 certified lab. A typical treatment visit is about 5 days in Tijuana. CPI reports that results commonly develop over 3 to 6 months, with improvement continuing up to 12 months. Individual results vary.

Between Joe Rogan mentioning the hospital and a steady stream of guests sharing their results, CPI has become the stem cell facility most associated with the Joe Rogan Experience.
