"I was having a lot of trouble with my left knee after playing golf or snow skiing. I would have to put ice on it to reduce the swelling. I was told about Polaris Spine & Neurosurgery Center. I made a appointment with Doctor Thomas Morrison. After the X-rays and MRIs were read I was told I was a good candidate for Stem Cell injections. I had the injections 6 month ago. I am playing golf with no pain and look forward to my 3 weeks of skiing. I am 77 years young."
