UFC fighter Eryk Anders got to the point where he could not turn his neck normally. Years of MMA and jiu jitsu had left him with repeated herniating and bulging discs, and it was affecting everything. He ended up talking about it on the Joe Rogan Experience.
The damage was not just stiffness. Eryk had constant numbness in his fingers and hands, and he could not turn his neck to look around, so he was twisting from the waist just to see. Between an NCAA, NFL, and UFC career, he had collected a lot of wear and tear, arthritis in the neck and beat up shoulders on top of the disc problems.
Eryk knew where he wanted to go. He came down to CPI in Tijuana for stem cells, right into the discs in his neck, rather than signing up for surgery that would mean months out of training. He talked about it openly with Joe Rogan, saying he went to the cellular performance facility in Mexico and it made a game changing difference for him.
He got the results that allowed him to come back to fighting in the UFC. The numbness and the locked up neck that had been running his daily life are gone, and he got back to training without getting surgery. It is one more CPI recovery story that has come up on the Joe Rogan Experience.
