NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Joel Singer appeared recently at a fundraiser with former NBA players, Walt Clyde Frazier and John Starks (all-star guard New York Knicks)The John Starks Foundation frequently hosts events to raise funds for the academic scholarships it provides to high school students

John Starks and the New York Knicks
John Starks knew from a young age that he wanted to become a professional basketball player. He only played high school basketball for one year, attending four different colleges in four years. Family support for his talent and his own determination paid off, and he finally achieved his goal when he signed with the New York Knicks he had an outstanding eight-year career with the Knicks, becoming a great New York crowd favorite. He retired in 2003 and holds the record for the most career 3-pointers made in Knicks history.

Financial assistance for high school seniors
Since his retirement, he has been just as busy off the court. In 1994 he established the John Starks Foundation and constantly works on the foundation’s agendas. This non-profit organization provides financial assistance to high school seniors from various Tulsa and New York/Tri-State area high schools. Students must demonstrate academic achievement, a commitment to community service and financial need to receive an academic scholarship. The Foundation also offers community programs to further the career, educational and recreational development of children and families.

Dr. Joel Singer and Healing the Children
Dr. Joel Singer fully supports John Starks and the efforts of his foundation. He too, is passionate about helping others. He is actively involved in Healing the Children, a nonprofit organization that assists children to receive medical treatment. He has trained local plastic surgeons around the world and performed free surgeries for children in need

Educating patients about stem cell therapy
Dr. Singer’s current efforts are devoted to educating patients about the benefits of stem cell therapy. He believes that regenerative cell therapy could provide the answer in the treatment of many degenerative diseases

Dr. Singer works with many patients, including professional athletes, at his clinic, Park Avenue Stem Cell, in New York. He has been working with former NFL players who are suffering the consequences of injuries received during their careers

Dr. Singer is currently conducting clinical trials into the efficacy of using adipose-derived stem cells to treat osteoarthritis. He harvests a patient’s own fat cells using a mini-liposuction procedure under local anesthetic, separates the stem cells and injects them into the area that needs regeneration and healing.

Hope for people with degenerative diseases
In rapidly aging populations, more people are suffering from degenerative conditions than ever before. Athletes involved with contact sports and running are more vulnerable to injury whereas for other patients pain usually comes from general wear and tear. Singer believes that the regenerative nature of stem cells makes them promising in the treatment of all degenerative conditions.

Clinical trials
Using fat-derived stem cells to regenerate tissue and cartilage is far preferable to using steroid injections, which don’t last for more than six months. Some patients who have received regenerative stem cell treatment have gone for much longer than six months without pain. Most evidence is anecdotal, and so Dr. Singer is currently conducting clinical trials on patients with osteoarthritis of the knee at Park Avenue Stem Cell in New York
