I met with Dr. Santa Anna and I was very impressed with his ability to explain my options after looking at my previous MRI's and also doing ultra sound on my shoulder.  I did not feel any pressure and he gave me multiple options with his opinion on what would be the best option.  I have not gotten any procedures yet and will update after I do.  This is for those that might be nervous about going here for their first consultation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr. Farhat for almost 5 or six years now.  Was in an auto accident that has given me problems which led to five surgeries over the last six years. He is one of the only people that I believe that has helped my pain from my back and from my neck. He joined a wonderful group of doctors that I had seen before and I would have nothing but good things to say about every single one of them and highly recommend any of these physicians to anybody that needs care to get out of the ailment’s they have.  You should have every bit of confidence in the care that they provide. They have put the care back in healthcare that has been so deeply diminishing with our insurance companies. See these guys first before you do any major surgery!

I had been dealing with a herniated disc for over a year. At times it was debilitating, and made doing most things unbearable. I am 4 weeks post stem cell and PRP injections and the difference I feel is unbelievable. My back pain is gone and I feel amazing! I am so thankful to have gone to the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. It is 100% worth it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Farhat and his team are fantastic!  After he helped me through resolving some lower back pain last year, I returned this spring for PRP in both knees.  This procedure greatly improved my everyday activities:  getting up from a chair, getting in and out of a car, and so much more!  An added bonus is that I had been taking pain reliever once or twice a week for achey knees, but I haven't needed it even once since.  A total win!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Dr Santos and Dr Farhat. We've had two issues in our family, my husband had debilitating arthritis and Dr Santos did a stem cell procedure a few years ago, it saved my husband's life.  His pain was so severe and crippling, he was walking with a cane, it would take him 10 minutes to be able to get out of bed, even riding in a car would cause him excruciating pain.  Within months of the procedure, he was able to start walking without a cane and his back continued to improve.  He even went sky diving about a year later. We took my son here to see Dr Farhat about peripheral neuropathy.  Dr Farhat had a great bedside manner.  He took the time to talk to my son and exam him. Unfortunately a stem cell procedure is not an option to help with neuropathy, but he prescribed mediation that has taken away the severe pain he was experiencing.  Other doctors we saw didn't take the time and just wrote my son off.  Just after a couple of weeks on the medication, my son's pain is nearly gone.  I can't thank the doctors enough for how much they have helped our family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been 3 months since I had my bone marrow/PRF & PRP treatments.  I had my left knee, both hips and L-3,4,5 transplant-injections.   Before treatment my pain level was unbearable. I couldn’t get through a day or night without pain. I couldn’t sleep on my side (hips), my knee woke me up many times each night.  I tried Physical Therapy twice, acupuncture and was told to try cortisol shots.  I did not want to just have a temporary solution, if that would have helped at all. I do not have any pain in my knee now.  My hips and back pain is a One to Two on the pain scale now because I now can exercise twice a day for 20-30 minutes.  The procedure was not painful at all.  I am thankful for the Doctors and Nurses at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine.   My body is only three months into this journey of healing, I will continue to heal and improve over the next three months.   Many thanks Dr. SantaAna.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of enduring excruciating pain and sleepless nights, I found relief at the Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine. Chronic back and shoulder discomfort had taken a toll on my well-being, leaving me fatigued and irritable. My family even nicknamed me "Shrek" due to my constant agony. However, thanks to the expert care I received at the center, I've experienced a remarkable transformation. Following treatment for my back and shoulder, I am now able to lift my arm over my head—a simple task that had eluded me for years. Today, I am no longer plagued by pain and misery, and I finally find myself living a life filled with happiness and comfort. (from Tom Lints)

I was having serious SI joint flares for a few months and was having a hard time working because of the pain and inability to walk very well.  I then started physical therapy but was not able to do my exercises very well because of the pain.  I heard about PRP and contacted the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine.  I was able to get PRP done the next week and it was a life saver!  I truly thought I was never going to be the same again. All the staff and Doctor Santa Ana were super kind and helpful during the procedure.  I felt better right away and have not had a flare since the procedure.  I am so thankful and recommend this to anyone with severe pain!

Treatments That Benefit From EMG Testing

EMG testing is just the first step on your healing journey and will likely inform the doctor of the type of treatment you will need to receive. Here at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we have several options available to help your body heal naturally and avoid the need to undergo surgery.

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction and regenerative joint injection. Nerve pain stimulation works similarly to EMG testing and stimulates the nerves via electricity. Stem cells are a productive and relatively new procedure, which acts as a natural catalyst that uses your body’s own cellular building blocks to recover damaged tissues.

“The treatment that I received from Dr. Nabity was life changing. I am a member in the military and due to a back injury that I sustained in the military. I was presented with the choice to either have back surgery or get out of the military. Dr. Nabity treated my back with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and results have been amazing. My disc herniation’s have decreased to half the size and I am able to work out and run again. I have since been able to stay in the military continue to serve. I could not hold Dr. Nabity in higher regards he literally saved my career and increased my quality of life tenfold.” – Nick Port Huron, MI

How An EMG Procedure Works

So, what can a Dearborn, MI resident expect from EMG testing? Intended to test the responsiveness of the electrical signals sent from your brain to the muscle nerves, EMG tests are minimally invasive and require a few injections to insert electrically sensitive needles. Still, they do not cause much pain and often don’t require pain management before or after the procedure. Once the electrodes are inserted, the doctor will likely ask you to flex and move around the offending muscle to test the electrical conductivity of the nerves as the brain sends signals. As our muscles do not conduct electric signals while at rest, movement is vital, and you may be asked to do several different movements for an accurate reading. EMG testing can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the responsiveness of your muscles.

After EMG testing, you may experience some soreness in the affected muscles. This soreness is normal and should not require any further treatment. In extreme cases, you may want to take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications to help with recovery, but nothing else will be needed.

“In my late 30’s I started to notice a gradual hair loss that accelerated in my early 40’s. I looked into different transplant techniques and all seemed fairly invasive and expensive. I thought I’d give PRP a try because the science made sense to me and the cost was a fraction of other treatments. 3 months after my first treatment I noticed significant regrowth and after about 6 months the results have been amazing. I’ve had quite a few friends ask me what I did, and I’ve happily referred them on to Dr. Nabity. He explained everything in detail and comforting in his approach.” – Scott Rockford, IL
