Kansas Regenerative Medical Center is excited to announce the addition of Steven Peloquin M.D. to join the KRMC Physicians, a team of stem cell specialists. Dr. Peloquin is double board certified with The American Board of Anesthesiology and The American Board of Pain Management. He has practiced as a pain management specialist for over seventeen years and has successfully treated thousands of patients with chronic back, spine, and neck pain from around the country. Dr. Peloquin’s years of experience have allowed him to pioneer new innovative techniques for the treatment of chronic pain and he has attained unparalleled results. Continually striving to advance the level of care for his patients Dr. Peloquin first began to research the benefits of stem cell therapies in 2014. The unprecedented results Kansas Regenerative Medical Center has currently been producing with stem cell treatments quickly garnered his attention and he immediately realized treating patients for chronic back, neck, and spine pain with stem cells could be an immediate reality. Both KRMC Physicians and Dr. Peloquin recognized the synergies that could be created by combining a company with cutting edge methodologies and a doctor with extensive pain management expertise. A productive partnership was quickly formed soon after Dr. Peloquin became aware of Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center and the reputation of KRMC Physicians, a group of premier stem cell therapy providers. Dr. Peloquin’s extensive knowledge of the anatomy of the neck, back, and spine combined with his expertise in the use of fluoroscopy allow KRMC Physicians to offer a superior level of care that is unsurpassed within the industry. The attention to detail that KRMC Physicians has, ensures patient’s stem cells are placed in the exact locations for maximum effectiveness and the results have proven to be well worth the extra effort. KRMC Physicians and Dr. Peloquin have been working together for the last three months and the improvement seen in the quality of our patient’s lives has been nothing short of extraordinary. The benefits received from stem cell therapies are vast and can improve many aspects of a patient’s life. Individuals whose lifestyles were previously compromised by the effects of chronic pain are now reporting their ability to participate in activities they once loved but have not been able to do in years. The clients of KRMC Physicians consistently tell us how pleased they are to be able to play sports again with their children and how appreciative they are to be able to sleep continuously throughout the night without waking up due to the effects of chronic pain. The results achieved by KRMC Physicians and Dr. Peloquin have reverberated across the medical community. They have treated patients from across the United States, Canada, and even as far away as Brazil. If you are suffering from chronic neck, spine, or back pain, and are interested in seeing if you are a good candidate for stem cell therapy, please contact Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center for more information and to schedule a patient consultation. Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center is a premier stem cell therapy center, cared for by KRMC Physicians, and is one of the few standalone stem cell centers focused on the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis, specific autoimmune diseases, and neck, spine, and back pain. We attract clients from around the world and an overwhelming majority of our patients are referred to us by satisfied patients who have previously received stem cell therapies from KRMC Physicians at Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center.

KRMC Physicians Treat UFC Champions the Nogueira Brothers with Stem Cell Therapy We had the honor of treating the UFC Champion Nogueira brothers here at Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center last week. The pair of Brazilian mixed martial artist brothers are true pioneers and legends in the sport and are known worldwide as UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Champions. Rodrigo Nogueira, or “Big Nog,” is also famous for the titles from the 2012 Bellator Fighting Championship, now known as Bellator MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), as well as other syndications. The brothers fought in the early days of mixed martial arts in China’s Pride Fighting Championship and now also run Black House Nogueira Team the largest MMA gym and training facility in San Diego. If you would like to learn more about the Nogueira brothers, click here for a quick video of the the brothers discussing how they prepare for a match and how they began training together. After being contacted by Eric Albarracin, world class wrestling coach of both the Nogueira Brothers and Patricio “Pitbull” Freire, about helping with years of pain these fighters live with, we decided to get involved. Eric had previously brought Patricio “Pitbull” Freire to us for treatments for terrible shoulder, wrist and knee pains a few months ago. Having watched Patricio recover so nicely and his exclamation that he feels pretty amazing already, Eric thought it would be great to have both of the Nogueira brothers receive stem cell therapy treatments from us as well. While visiting KRMC, Eric Albarracin himself underwent treatment with great results. The Nogueira brothers recieved two days of stem cell treatment at Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center. After being treated by Dr. Frank Lyons and Dr. Andrew Pope for multiple joint pain issues, they were seen by Dr. Steve Peloquin, our Board Certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist, so that he could deploy Stem Cells and Platelet Rich Plasma in many areas of the back, neck and epidural using sophisticated Fluoroscopy guided injections. Dr. Peloquin has treated over 30,000 patients for various back problems. KRMC just received a message from Brazil and Rogerio Nogueira, or "Little Nog," yesterday, and it seems that both brothers are very happy with the initial results, although it is still early in the process. On another note, I want to let people know that the men you see fighting and looking so tough while in the UFC and Bellator arenas, they are more than UFC Champions. I would be remiss if I did not say that these same men are nice, classy and fun to be around when not in the moment of a fight; as they are entertaining when they are in a fight. We thoroughly enjoy every moment that they are here with us in Kansas and are sure that we will remain friends with these amazing MMA fighters for a long time. We at KRMC feel that, as one of the only stand-alone stem cell centers in the country, we are poised and ready to help these fighters stay active and continue living the life that they love. Additionally, with PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) being banned in the UFC now, Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center could be the answer many fighters are seeking. In fact, I am excited to say that we already have other legendary MMA and UFC fighters calling and scheduling appointments to receive stem cell treatment for themselves own! At Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center, we do one thing and we do it right. We are proud to be the only stand-alone stem cell center, to our knowledge, focusing exclusively on stem cell therapy. More than 70% of our patients come to us through referrals, which only adds to our reputation of quality treatment and results. Also, about 20%-25% of our patients now come from across the country and internationally! Having just won an award, which was presented to our team during a Kansas State Congressional Session, for one of the “Best New Emerging Companies” in Kansas, you can rest assured that KRMC follows the strictest protocols and treat our patients, and now friends, with kindness, respect and the absolute best care. About Us What Services Does Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center Offer? Stem Cells (SVF): We are an advanced, stand-alone stem cell therapy center offering Autologous Adipose (Fat) Derived Stem Cell Treatments.Autologous stem cells from a person’s own fat are easy to harvest safely under local anesthesia and are abundant in quantities up to 2500 times those seen in bone marrow. We use the latest surgical equipment, cell counter and instruments such as the advanced Terason Usmart3200t Ultrasound, to help pinpoint the deployment of your stem cells. Learn more at Terason.com. (PRP) Platelet Rich Plasma: We offer Platelet Rich Plasma as a stand-alone procedure or to be used in conjunction with your stem cell deployment. PRP treatment recently gained widespread recognition in the sports world. Platelets function as a natural reservoir for growth factors that are essential to repair injured tissues. PRP activates tenocytes to proliferate quickly and produce collagen to help repair injured tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles. Stem Cell Research The Cell Surgical Network was founded nearly two years after the formation of the California Stem Cell Treatment Center (founded in 2010). Affiliate members like Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center are generally made up of teams of multidisciplinary physicians in order to best assess and provide care for our patients. The Cell Surgical Network and KRMC emphasizes quality and is highly committed to clinical research and the advancement of regenerative medicine. Currently, KRMC and all affiliate members use the same sterile closed surgical procedure to process fat using a mini-liposuction procedure in order to isolate and implant a patient’s own source of regenerative cells on the same day. The source of the regenerative cells actually comes from stromal vascular fraction (SVF) – a protein rich segment from processed adipose tissue. Stromal vascular fraction contains a mononuclear cell line (predominantly autologous mesenchymal stem cells), macrophage cells, endothelial cells, red blood cells, and important growth factors that facilitate the stem cell process and promote their activity. Our technology allows us to isolate high numbers of viable cells that we can deploy during the same surgical setting. While vigilant about patient safety, we are also learning about which diseases respond best and which deployment methods are most effective. CSN employs a clinical research coordinator and an online database to collect valuable data from throughout the network of affiliates. Affiliates like KRMC have the opportunity to share not only their data, but their experiences, thus implementing higher levels of understanding and care. ” As a Stem Cell recipient myself, I am incredibly excited to be involved with the study and use of Adult Adipose Stem Cells (SVF) and the potential help they may offer us all.” Patrick Farley-President Learn more about stem cell therapy and how it can help you. Contact us today. Our Process To get started, you will first have a consultation with one of our physicians to review your medical history and specific condition. If, after your consultation, the physician feels you are medically qualified and your condition is something we can potentially treat with our Adult Adipose Stem Cell Protocols under our (IRB), we will schedule a time for you to visit our office located in Manhattan, Kansas. Our procedure is very safe and completed in one visit in most cases. On the day of the procedure, we harvest a small amount of fat through a simple closed system lipoaspiration procedure. The fat we harvest can come from several locations on your body. You and the Physician will determine the best location. This procedure is completed under a local anesthetic injection only. Unlike most major surgeries, you do not have to be put under with general anesthesia. After we have completed the process of harvesting your fat, you will be guided to a private room designed to allow you to relax. You can watch TV, listen to music or just enjoy the quiet surroundings. Once the adult stem cells are carefully processed from the fat and ready to be delivered, your physician will deploy them into your predetermined area of need. KRMC uses a new highly sophisticated Ultrasound Instrument (Terason uSmart 3200T) with Enhanced Needle Visualization (ENV) to ensure accurate delivery of the adult stem cells. www.terason.com/usmart3200t. In most cases, we will also administer an (IV) drip of adult stem cells while you are being treated. The whole process takes less than three hours and involves very little to no pain. When we are finished, we ask that you wear a provided medical waist band and bandage. Your physician will then follow up with you in the days and weeks to come, to answer any questions you may have. Most people are back to work the next day with very little downtime. Bone Marrow VS. Fat Derived Stem Cells – Is There A Controversy? Whether your adult mesenchymal stem cells come from bone marrow or from fat probably does not make a difference in terms of clinical results. Although some centers claim that bone marrow derived cells are superior to fat derived cells, there is no evidence to substantiate that. The fact that there are many more studies on bone marrow cells does not prove clinical superiority but merely supports the obvious fact that fat derived cells are based on more recent discoveries and although evidence is accumulating, there are far fewer studies using these cells. It is important that one is not mislead by the word “bone” in bone marrow, possibly implying that, since this is an “orthopedic source,” it “might be better” for treating orthopedic conditions such as cartilage regeneration. In fact, the bone marrow is part of the reticulo-endothelial system and just happens to be found in the center of bone. All of these types of cells are equally primitive and have the potential to differentiate into mature functional tissues. For many disease types such as cardiac pathology, adipose derived cells appear to be showing superiority to bone marrow derived cells. This may be related to the well documented qualitative and quantitative attrition in bone marrow stem cell counts related to age and chronic illness (chronic disease causes bone marrow suppression). Such changes in the number of cells over time and the quality of cells dependent on health have not been seen in fat derived stem cells. Fat derived cells are a natural choice for our investigatory work considering their easy and rapid availability in extremely high numbers.

History Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center is a Manhattan, Kansas company born from the life changing experience of its founders, both of whom have successfully received stem cell therapy. After hearing a lecture about stem cells given by a world leading animal stem cell expert, our founders John Farley and Ken Woods asked “would this work for us?” John and Ken have had nine knee surgeries between them, along with many various other orthopedic pains, associated with working in the cattle business and from sports related injuries. Both shared the frustration of not being able to fully enjoy being more active in sports, working on the ranch or playing with grand children due to various orthopedic injuries causing them pain. They finally decided that living with pain and daily medication was no longer acceptable. After listening to John and Ken, the expert shared his success with stem cell therapy he had received for a severe shoulder problem. He said that even after many months of normal physical therapy rehabilitation, his shoulder was still in daily pain and lacked full mobility. He explained that he then sought out a premier physician offering adipose adult stem cell therapy, also known as stromal vascular fraction (SVF). Having found one who was working under an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and very strict guidelines, the expert was then very successfully treated himself. Understanding that there are no 100% guarantees of success, both John and Ken then decided anything that could help ease their daily pains was worth a try. They both sought out and successfully received adipose stem cell therapy. John and Ken waited for months in order to confirm their new found pain relief and positive results were genuine and lasting. Knowing that so many others were also suffering and unaware of this potential help, they decided to open Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center. Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center is now an affiliate of the highly trained Cell Surgical Network, with over forty of the top multidisciplinary physicians in the world working together under the same (IRB) protocols. This network shares case information and assists other network affiliates with unique cases, to ensure the patient is best served. Kansas Regenerative Medicine now has a wonderful new medical facility in Manhattan, Kansas, focused solely on adipose adult stem cell therapy.
