Throwback to one of our favorite weekly updates Meet Mike "Rooftop" Escamilla, former professional BMX rider and stuntman.
When Mike first came to CPI in December 2022, he arrived with one of the longest lists of injuries and chronic pain issues we’d seen in a patient.
During his first visit, Mike received 170 million stem cells across multiple areas, including both big toes, both ankles, both knees, both hips, both SI joints, and several direct injections into the discs in his back.
Before treatment, Mike’s incredibly active lifestyle had come to a near standstill.
It took him 30 minutes every morning just to get out of bed and stand up straight. He could barely ride his bike for 30 minutes without his knees swelling up for the next three weeks. Some days, he spent hours lying on the couch, concentrating on his breathing just to manage the pain in his back.
By February 1, 2023, just weeks after his first visit, Mike reported that his back pain had almost completely disappeared.
Mike credits his strict commitment to aftercare as a huge part of his recovery.
Within a few months, he was back working. By summer, he was riding his bike again. And by the following winter, he was back snowboarding half days, reporting no residual knee pain.
Now, nearly four years later, Mike reports that his back is still pain-free.
For someone who spent his entire life pushing his body to the limit, getting back to doing the things he loves has meant everything.
This is one of those updates we never get tired of sharing.
