Dr. Striano brings an advanced skill set to the Hydrate and Wellness Spa with image-guided non-surgical biological and stem cell orthopedics. Certified in diagnostic ultrasound imaging with more than 25 years of experience in the application of high-definition diagnostic and interventional ultrasound imaging. He was in the first group of doctors to qualify, sit for and pass the credentialing examination in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging and earned a pioneer certificate from the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography.

He received his diagnostic and interventional ultrasound training at The Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development, Andrews Orthopedic Institute, The Orthobiologics Institute, The Interventional Orthopedic Foundation, Thomas Jefferson Medical, and MSKUS. Dr. Striano was the first in the USA to be personally trained on the FDA-cleared Lipogems procedure by its founder, Carlo Tremolada, M.D., Milan, Italy, an adipose-derived regenerative stem cell procedure in 2015. He was the first in the USA to publish a peer-reviewed study with Lipogems for the knee, bone on bone with multiple meniscus and tears of the anterior cruciate ligament 6 months after treatment.

Dr. Striano was teaching faculty at the OrthoSono physician training conferences in diagnostic and interventional ultrasound imaging.

He has published multiple peer-reviewed abstracts, scientific posters and case studies. More recently peer-reviewed published studies in orthopedic journals reporting outcomes of 28 shoulders having advanced osteoarthritis with multiple rotator cuff tears one year after treatment, and a knee study reporting outcomes of 30 knees with advanced osteoarthritis and meniscus tears one year after treatment. His most recent peer-reviewed published study is with international colleagues reporting outcomes of 120 knees with advanced osteoarthritis with meniscal tears two years after treatment. He brings more than 25 years of experience as well as a unique approach to Hydrate Wellness and Spa’s non-surgical orthopedics.

Our approach begins with high-definition diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the joint at the oint of care. Every structure in a joint must work in a coordinated and cooperative fashion for the joint to function normally, and multiple structures may play a role in why the joint is not functioning. This is why the approach begins with high-definition ultrasound imaging of all structures. This is Hydrates Wellness and Spa’ unique “whole joint” approach. Single shot approaches result in undertreatment, and why many patients failing a “stem cell” treatment were undertreated, leaving patients with an improper conclusion that stem cell treatment doesn’t work.

His research has also uniquely found that each different tissue responds best to a certain number of stem cells. More is not better, and too little is not good either. He has found a “sweet spot” range of cells providing the best outcomes. The calculations to ensure each injection falls within the sweet spot is made before treatment takes place, ensuring the ultrasound image-guided injections fill each target with 100% accuracy but also that each target has been given the number of stem cells that target requires for the best outcomes. This is why our outcomes are significant.

Dr. Striano has diagnosed and taken part in the diagnostic imaging and image-guided injections of more than thirty-five thousand joints. These patients successfully treated include prominent business leaders, real estate moguls, famous musicians, artists, professional athletes, astronauts, famous speakers, owners of professional sports teams, and the list of elite patients goes on and on.

Our Hydrate Wellness and Spa orthopedic approach is backed by sound science, data-driven, and outcome-dependent. If you can’t move, you can’t live. Movement is life! Our mission is to provide patient specific long-term reduction in pain, improved mobility, functionality, range of motion, strength, stability, endurance, increased activities and quality of life with every patient we see. Dr. Striano provides 24/7 access to him as part of the aftercare connection.
