Ronnie Coleman continues to do all he can to improve his health. He regularly receives stem cell and hyperbaric treatments in Mexico in order to manage his pain and potentially regain lost mobility. Today, he provided an update. Let’s look at Ronnie’s history with this treatment and where his health is now.
RONNIE COLEMAN HEALTH: STEM CELLS
With the recommendation of podcaster Joe Rogan, since October of 2020, Ronnie Coleman has been receiving stem cell treatments. In an effort to regain lost mobility due to lingering spinal trauma and multiple unsuccessful back surgeries (chronicled here), Ronnie Coleman journeys from his home in Texas to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There, Coleman, who currently needs crutches or a wheelchair to move about, undergoes stem cell therapy via intravenous injections at the Regenamex Clinic. In promising studies, stem cells “may support spinal cord repair.”
RONNIE COLEMAN HEALTH: HYPERBARIC CHAMBER
Since September 2022, the bodybuilding legend, who won the Mr. Olympia a record-tying eight times from 1998-2005, has also been spending time in the Regenamex Clinic’s hyperbaric chamber, breathing pure oxygen for an hour at a time, a treatment that has been shown to stimulate a patient’s body to produce huge quantities of its own stem cells.
Ronnie Coleman wrote on Instagram last year:
Yeah Buddy finally got a chance to sit in a Hyperbaric Chamber and it quite an experience. One day I will get my mobility back. Perseverance is the key, quitters never win. As long as I don’t give up I truly have a chance. This chamber combined with 300 million stem cells gives me the best shot ever. I love when a plan comes together. As long as I have a plan I have a chance. As long as I’m alive I have a chance to survive and overcome this obstacle.
He shared a photo of the hyperbaric chamber:
Ronnie wrote of the above photo:
The Hyperbaric Chamber we sit in for our sessions. This bad boy is off the chain. We have an A/C in here, television with Netflix and YouTube so time goes by real fast when we’re watching a good movie. Our sessions are only an hour but watching a good movie seems like 15-20 minutes.
RONNIE COLEMAN HEALTH UPDATE
Today, in November 2023, 59-year-old Ronnie Coleman provided more information regarding his ongoing treatments and their effectiveness at managing his pain:
Another round and another session of the Hyperbaric chamber. I had my stem cell treatment yesterday and I always have my Hyperbaric chamber treatment afterwards. The Hyperbaric treatment always speeds the healing process of my pain progression. Without the Hyperbaric treatment my pain progression takes 4 days for the pain to cease. My pain levels are so intense that it prevents me from being able to sleep at night. With the Hyperbaric treatment the pain progression stops in 1 day which means after one day of stem cell treatment combined with the Hyperbaric treatment my pain ceases in one day instead of four without the Hyperbaric treatment. So the Hyperbaric treatment is very beneficial for total elimination of pain and provides for very comfortable sleeping at night. But most important I feel great.
