After a motorcycling accident, Brandon's spine was injured in the C4-6 range. From Riverside, California, he traveled to Shijiazhuang, China to receive IV and lumbar injections of donated umbilical cord blood stem cells and his own bone marrow stem cells.

Check out the video for Brandon's story, some views of physical therapy in China and Brandon playing catch again. The treatment required a lot of work from him but he felt it was worth it saying "you just have to get up and do it... once you get that frame of mind, anything can happen."

Patients with spinal cord injuries have been traveling to China from all over the world for the past six years. Treatment typically involves a regimen of lumbar injections side-by-side with a range of therapies to help the cells get to their targets. Whether sub-acute or chronic, patients' report symptomatic relief and improvement in their quality of life.
