After 7 Years of Chronic Pain, Former Marine is Climbing Denali Pain-Free

June 2, 2021

As an active former marine who competed in triathlons, Iron Man competitions, and was able to leg press 800-900 pounds, Nick found himself suffering from debilitating back pain that left him unable to sit for longer than 10 minutes.

Being inactive and sitting on the sidelines of life was not an option for Nick. Through Regenerative Medicine with Dr. Niteesh Bharara, he is now a 0 out of 10 on the pain scale. Stem Cell Therapy, an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure, had him in and out within three hours, and he was at home recovering the same day. In just 3 months after his procedure, he climbed Mount Denali.
