Condition discussed: Neck and discsHow 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.
At the time of this episode, CPI was the official stem cell therapy provider of the UFC, which is part of why the Facility came up so often on the Joe Rogan Experience. Between that connection and a steady stream of guests sharing their results, CPI became the stem cell Facility most associated with the show.
