I like to play tennis.
There are a lot of athletes at my tennis club who personify the term "weekend warrior" perfectly. Since my body is longer 21, I have started to notice some "changes" as have many of my tennis partners. Regenerative medicine is the perfect solution to help keep people active with as little pain as possible. I always have to remind these warriors in my office that their imaging findings often happen as we age...some arthritis, degenerative rotator cuffs and meniscus and labrum tears.....and that we don't necessarily need to schedule surgery because an xray or MRI shows "something". My friend in this video was scheduled for hip surgery 2 years ago and came to see me right before as a last chance to try something nonsurgical and nonsteroidal. We did a single high dose (120cc blood draw down to 5cc of LP-PRP) intra-articular hip injection. He just came back yesterday almost exactly two years later. He is a nationally ranked masters level tennis player and I totally get his "need" to stay in the game. I am so glad I had something to offer him..... I think everyone deserves to know that these regenerative medicine treatment options are real and available from thoughtful clinicians.
Patients....let us help you by giving you more options!
Docs....it is time to learn more if you are only "dabbling" in biologics.
