Dear Dr. Nabavi:

Over the last year Frank has made remarkable gains in nearly all areas measured.  However, he has yet to see any gains in ankle movement.  Most notable progress continued for up to 6 months after receiving his stem cell treatment in January.  Since the 6th month mark he has been able to maintain in the majority of gains.  Even though many areas saw a plateau at 6 months, his gross lower extremity strength and functional mobility have continued to improve.  As noted by the measurement grid, he is now able to ambulate for 300 feet using a straight cane.  His functional mobility continues to be limited by low back pain but trunk stability has also shown improvement over the year, which has helped with increased ambulation.

It has been exciting to watch Frank’s progress over the years.  Despite continual therapy there was a documented decline over the last few years.  Now I see a man reclaiming his independence through function gained by your stem cell therapy.
