Nick is dad to two boys, and coach and teacher to hundreds more.
From football fields to high school classrooms, he has dedicated his life to working with young people in Ohio.
Nick was only in his early 30s, but he knew he needed help. He went to see an orthopedic specialist.
The specialist diagnosed a partial tear in his rotator cuff and recommended treatment with the REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant. It’s a small collagen patch about the size of a postage stamp. When attached to a torn rotator cuff during surgery, it helps the body grow new tendon-like tissue to heal the tear.1-4
The REGENETEN Implant can be used with both partial-thickness and full-thickness rotator cuff tears. When applied as an isolated treatment for partial-thickness tears, it has been shown to offer less pain after surgery and a faster recovery than traditional surgical treatment.5*
