I believe in advancing the field of stem cell therapy through education of both physicians and the public, and founded American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, where I provide training to physicians on the science, clinical evidence and safe protocols in Stem Cell Therapy. I am a proponent of high quality clinical research, and have originated a traumatic brain injury (TBI) study, and I am a published author in scientific journals.

In an attempt to provide patients and other clinicians with the highest quality stem cell products, I founded Chara Biologics, where I developed a potent and comprehensive stem cell product CharaCore with a patent-pending formulation, as well as an all-natural stem cell skin cream CharaOmni. I was recognized for my contribution to the field of regenerative medicine and awarded the “Top Doctor of the Year in Stem Cell Therapy” in 2019 and “Stem Cell Doctor of the Decade” in 2021 by IAOTP (International Association of Top Professionals).

182 Dr. Ed Barry - The Lift

lundi 12 octobre 2020 • Duration 30:19

Spine specialist, Dr. Ed Barry shares a patient success story using Cox Technic. Then he explains how he used the principles of flexion distraction to create a new home product for lower back pain called the Lift. Dr. Ed Barry

As a board-certified chiropractic orthopedist and certified laser pain management physician, Dr. Ed Barry has spent the past 38 years helping patients get back to all the things they used to do. Over that time, Dr. Barry utilized traditional chiropractic techniques as well as laser therapy to treat a variety of conditions including arthritis, sciatica, spinal stenosis, hip pain, back and neck pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Many years ago, while Dr. Barry was exercising in the gym, he was drawn to a curious apparatus that was specifically designed for toning the abdominal muscles. What made this piece of equipment so interesting was in the design and movement – a bench was fitted with a pivot bearing in the mid-point of the table so the user could alter the plane of movement in the abdomen as you contracted upward, creating resistance to both the anterior and oblique muscles in the abdomen.

That got him thinking about the possibility of creating a device that could combine the two movements of flexion and traction for the lower back. And that’s when the seed for Lift was planted, and with those years of development, refinement, and engineering, Dr. Barry is now proud to introduce Lift to patients all over the world.
