- Have you been doing research on Prolotherapy solutions, including types of stem cells and PRP injection therapy? In this video, Regenerative Medicine specialist, Danielle Matias, PA-C, discusses our approach to determine if someone truly needs stem cells or if they may actually just need a more comprehensive H3 dextrose Prolotherapy technique, and why to avoid one-shot stem cell treatments that contain no living stem cells.

Maria Paredes how did it go?

What was the result?
How did it go
How did your treatment go?
Thanks for breaking this down, much appreciated~
Hello! I see you on Monday!!!! Praying you can help me!!!
How'd it go? What was the condition, anyway? thanks
How'd it go?
Thank you...
Wow! Very informative 😊👍
These treatment are not covered by insurance and they are very expensive. i have experiencing plantar ficiiatis and nothing has helped. Got my first prolotherapy injection today and see how it goes. 250 a shot and if it doesn't work I may try the PRP which is 1250 a shot. There are no guarantees that these are going to take my pain and discomfort away.
Hi Lyn, wish you all the best with your treatment!
How are u now evelyn ?
Thanks for the info.
How much was the exam? And how are you doing now?
Alex Lee `my left foot has improved a lot. My right foot still experiencing pain.
Hi@@nicaheat. I hope your feeling better. Did you receive prolotherapy in both feet? On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst pain, how much pain are you in now? What was your pain before prolotherapy? How many treatments?
The office in Illinois is a lot closer for me but do they do prolotherapy as well ?
Do you guys use ultrasound image guidance for comprehensive prolotherapy?
That was very informative. I had a ND inject dextrose into my ankle area to surround the nerve. In hopes to take care of neuropathy. I have had the neuropathy at that time nearly 5 years. The dextrose did nothing. The procedure was ultrasound guided hydro-disection. According to your explanation the chronic pain which has gone on for many years would not get better with dextrose. He didn't believe PRP would help and thought it would just aggravate the existing nerve pain. I've had other NDs inject Prolozone into the arch of my foot, around the ankle--where I suffer crippling arthritis. Those have helped but none have gotten to this neuropathy pain. I have not done stem cells yet. I thought they always came from someone else which turned me off. I am also looking into a peptide Thymosin Beta 4 to be injected into my foot as well by ultrasound guided hydro-disection. Please Lord, I need something to work.
Hi CreativeGirl, Thank you for sharing your story and experience with some of the different regenerative medicine solutions. We certainly can't speak for everyone, but the stem cells and PRP that we use are always autologous - from the patient themselves- never from an outside source or any kind of dead "freeze dried" cells. We hope that you and your local providers will be able to get you some relief soon. If you feel that you wanted our specialists to see you at some point in the future, we're always happy to review cases to see if you sound like a good candidate for our center. We cannot accept all cases, but we're happy to take a look at see if it is a good fit. We wish you a very happy new year and all the best in health for 2021!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you.
If your neuropathy is caused by a metabolic syndrome such as diabetes, I dont think prolotherapy can be of any help.
@@baba-sm1fm I don’t have diabetes. Nor have had any injuries. Drs now think it’s CRPS.
@@creativegirl9710 In that case prolotherapy could be of great help. My problem was not exactly as yours, but similarly it did involve the nervous system of which we still don't know very much when it comes to its behavior and pain. I suffered a whip lash injury in 2001, and although the injury was in the cervical spine, it caused terrible referred pain to my entire body for 8 years.the neurologist diagnosed me with fasciomyalgia but could only offer pain medications. And physical therapy. In 2009 I had 3 prolotherapy sessions with Dr. Reeves here in Kansas City, it was my last hope, to my disbelief I was cured. As a nurse I do my do diligence when it comes to research, and the research on prolotherapy is vast, even used by the VA but strangely not encouraged or even covered by insurance in the main population. After almost 12 years I am going back to Dr. Reeves to treat my carpal tunnel, had the first session 4 weeks ago. I truly hope prolotherapy will work for you.Good luck!!!
How about chronic stiffness for cervical spine?
Found this video again 😁
Below not answered.
So i think I get it.
Dextrose - what I don’t know does Dextrose at all have an affect on ligaments? Or is it only the cells?
And the question below...if without Dextrose irritation, does PRP know what to do?
I have been diagnosed with Rio vertebrobasilar insufficiency on the right vertebral artery. The doctor added that 'the right vertebral artery is very small' compared to the left. Would prolotherapy help a case like mine? Thanks.
what do the stem cells and prp do to existing scar tissue. does it remodel it or break it up?
Will Stem Cell or PRP work for Polio affected leg also ?
If i was struggling with overall pelvic instability from ligament laxity, would you inject into several ligaments around the pelvis or just the ones that cause pain ?
Our injections are to ligaments around the whole area with instability, odds are if there is instability in 1 ligament then another is probably unstable!
Can prolotherapy regenerate cartilage in chondromalacia please help
Which treatment usually works the best for disc bulging in neck with instability and overall neck tightness?
Hi Brad Raf99, thanks for the question. Ultimately, that would be determined after a physical exam and thorough review of a patient's medical history an any additional imaging like Digital Motion X-ray. Generally speaking, cellular solutions like PRP or stem cells are used in more severe cases of disability and known cervical dysstructure. But the patient's overall health needs to be taken into consideration as to which solution would be recommended.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Ok thanks I was just wondering about the Prolotherapy because I think I have some of the symptoms of that vagus nerve issue affected from my neck to my stomach that causes stomach issues and gerd.
Can somebody who is broke do this treatment ??
Thank you for posting this video! It was Very informative. Will Medicaid cover these treatments? My knee is all messed up from when I was heavy. I lost about 300lbs 10 years or so ago and all the pain kinda just went away. About a month ago I went jogging and my knee has been in pain since & isn't letting up. I went to get checked, got an MRI and was told I had osteoarthritis. Does this last for the rest of your life? This is terrifying considering I usually try to stay physically active and i'm 37 y/o & now even walking causes discomfort and legit pain in my knee like i've never felt.
Do any insurance companies cover these types of treatments? If not, is there a way to get them to cover it, as opposed to surgery? Who can administer these injections? Do you trust any doctors in NYC enough to recommend?
Thanks for posting this video.🙏🙏
Hi Chupa Gabrah, Thank you for sharing your story and glad that weight loss helped your knee pain for so long. That is wonderful! Yes, pain is a progressive disorder, including osteoarthritis, so if the degenerative cycle is not broken it continues. Just like aging, there are some things we can do to ease the process to live a more active or healthy life. Same thing with the joints. Once there has been some damage, that area more rapidly degenerates into degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis). Regenerative Medicine is not covered by Medicaid, unfortunately. Some private insurance will reimburse patients for the procedure to some extent. Typically, when it comes to any type of pain medicine coverage, insurance (including Medicare/Medicaid) is limited to some steroid injections, pain medications, some physical therapy, and in some plans a couple visits of Chiropractic care. We hope this helps explain a little more clearly and we cover more about pain progression and osteoarthritis and regeneration on our channel if you want to do a deeper dive on these topics. We wish you all the best in health and getting to the root cause of your arthritis and pain! While we do not have a specific referral, you may want to try calling some places you find online and see if it seems like a good match. We hope you will soon find a doctor and treatment that is ideal for you.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy lord almighty 😬😬
I'll try to stay optimistic like I won't have to spend the rest of my life dealing with worsening knee pain bc I can't quite afford this treatment. Can hardly walk to work, let alone work. At least the tech behind the therapy is promising & not just for reversing damage! It's quite fascinating.
Thanks for the response. God bless
Ma'am I had meniscus tear grade 3 and tibia head fracture, so went under surgery, partial menesectomy has been done in my knee, now I am prone to osteoarthritis, will prolotherapy work to prevent it??
hello. im considering prolotherapy for si joint dysfunction... and want to ask two questions. do patients experience more pain after prp injection compared to normal sugar water injection? plus, is there no side effect of autologous stem cell injection? i couldnt get proper infor about stem cell treatment for ligament injury
Hi Seonghyo KIM- Thanks for reaching out. You will want to ask the office where you are planning to get the treatment performed what to expect. If you are planning to come to our clinic, this is always part of the consultation and discussion with the provider as well as discussion about risks based on the treatment plan. In general, the stronger the solution, the more stiff/swollen or painful the area can be directly after treatment because it creates more local inflammation. We wish you all the best in your treatment and if you are planning to come to our clinic, please reach out directly to us so we can more thoroughly answer your question.
Have you administered any PRP or stem cell treatments to patients with chronic conditions, i.e. Meniére's disease? If so, what were the results?
Also what is the price range for your treatments? My hunch is that they can be expensive....
Hi Insert Witty Meme Here, Yes, we regularly see patients here who were diagnosed with Ménière's disease in our Neck Center. Our prices are on our website, including testing and treatment prices. Prolotherapy is priced by the complexity of the body area and the type of solution as PRP and Stem Cell solutions do cost more. Wish you all the best in health and finding a treatment that helps to resolve your symptoms. Take care.
Has your clinic helped any men with Peyronie's Disease? If so, how successful is the treatment, generally speaking? Also, is there an average number of visits required, before one can determine if the treatment is helping or not? Thank you.
Hi Karl, Good question. This would not be the type of case we would take on here.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Okay, thanks for letting me know. I've heard that PRP along with GAINSwave therapy is supposed to be helpful. I'm planning on trying some proteolytic enzymes for the fibrosis, but haven't yet decided which one to try.
Do you have any competent dr's in the Phoenix area that can bridge the gap between DMX and treatments? No one around here knows how to evaluate the movement of c1 on the DMX imaging. Would love to goto FL but that's a 34 hour drive....
Good question, but upper cervical treatments are one of the top reasons why patients travel to our Florida clinic. It is not something that most doctors treat, so even local Prolotherapy doctors pretty much like to stick to extremities and not be too aggressive with any kind of spine treatment, if they treat it at all. It is a long drive, yes, but if you wanted us to review your case, and were able to stay in Florida for a while (some patients have traveled here in an RV, for instance, or a rental apartment), we could potentially do a few treatments during that time. Tho, because it is a series, most people need somewhere between 3-6 total treatments, and more advanced cases may need more like 6-10, it really does depend on the case.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you for the quick reply. I am gathering my records to submit to you guys shortly. Thx again!
Hi@@dwsmith7072. I hope all is well. How was your treatment?
@@daimiongolding381 I found a Dr in the Phoenix area that injects prolo and pro upto the c1 levels and we have completed 5 treatments so far. I still have clunking at the c1 level but the lower levels feel more stable.
S Dennis Thank you so much for your feedback. I hope you neck pain drastically decreases or becomes painless
do you have prolotherapy in orange county?
So if I had stem cells done and seen no results.would stem cells plus porolotherpy then be more effective
Hi Miguel, Yes, this is something that we see pretty commonly in our office where patients had received a single PRP or stem cell (dried amniotic fluid) injection without long-lasting results. The reason this happens in most patients is that the whole joint was not addressed, as you cannot address the whole joint with only one or two injections. We would be happy to review your case in more detail and see how we can help. Feel free to email us directly at info@caringmedical.com or the contact form on our website.
Okay thank you I need to talk to rep if possible I left my information
Do the cells know there is an issue to fix?
Cells usually need a command to do something...
What about instability?
Hi qitae- Comprehensive Prolotherapy to the whole joint addresses instability, but sometimes cells are added in, depending on the exact case or additional findings from ultrasound or other scans.
I guess that’s why the prolotherapy hasn’t worked to 100% yet because my joint are a bit degenerated. I’ve had this issues for a several of years. Maybe I need prp and than prolotherapy?
Hi Oscar, Thanks for the question. It's worth discussing with whoever is treating you. It could be the Prolotherapy technique itself is not comprehensive enough, or even that the solution could be made stronger before going to PRP or other autologous solutions. Or, it could be that you have a lesion that would be appropriate for PRP. In our center, we do PRP Prolotherapy, so even when using PRP we are also treating the surrounding attachments with dextrose Prolotherapy. It may be that there are other complementary therapies that need to be added to the program as well, such as exercises or nutrition. Hope that you and your doctor find the best solution to your issue or that you will find a practitioner who can offer you a more comprehensive approach to your injury. Wishing you all the best in healing!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy will do. I’ll ask the doctor. Thank you for the informative video.
Does it tell to your xray's and mri's that yours already degenerated?
@@venusserafico1161 nope not yet. I just took an X-ray and everything is fine except for loss of curve yet again. I’m set to see someone else but I don’t have enough funds.
Anyone out there succeeded at curing trigger finger with prp injections, stem cell or prolotherapy?
I had trigger finger opening tight bottles. Once I stopped opening bottle it went away on its own.
Have you tried anything yet? I'm in pain looking for a quick fix
The cortisone shot may help temporarily numb the pain. But it doesn't seem to be a long-term fix honestly. And might do more harm than good by simply masking the pain. cuz your pain may go away, but the underlying problem is still there so you're actually making it worse all the while because you don't even realize you're in pain because you don't feel it! ... At least temporarily, assuming the shot even works that well
