I had PRP lysate injections C4 - C7 in August 2018. MRI showed a bulging disc at C4-C5 and zero space for my spinal cord. I had numerous symptoms related to this including ghost rings, random muscle spasms, and random itching in the arms that could not be resolved by scratching. MRI 14 months later showed 1mm of space all around my spinal cord at the same site where there was none before. Symptoms got radically better, and the only time I have trouble now is when I ignore diet and rest. It's not a panacea. I'm just a single data point. BUT, it made a huge difference in my quality of life. The other thing not mentioned in this video - the injection site needs to be carefully controlled. My doctor uses a fluoroscope to ensure the injection site is precisely where it needs to be and the platelets go where they will do the most good. My doctor also has strict advice on pre-op diet including avoiding supplements that can reduce the efficacy of the treatment.
Phenomenal. Where did you go to get this done if you don’t mind me asking? I’m from Mississippi and it seems to be quite limited finding people who facet joint injections with PRP
Thanks for another great review of treatment factors! Appreciate diving into diet, stress and other factors. I’ve been recommended for PRP after a traumatic twisting meniscus tear. Orthopedic doc recommended PRP since I’m a outdoor athlete. Great to hear about diet factors affecting the PRP harvesting. I’ll do some additional research and cut back on coffee and sugars before the blood draw.
I am a healthy person and I can say that PRP was awesome in the recovery of my mandíbula surgery. So good that I didn’t have to take antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, pain killers (just the first night) That was only for me. Because I know how well my plasma is.
Great video. I'm getting shots in my knees for arthritis. Nervous because I've seen videos it looks painful. 😬 should I do one at a time don't know what they will recommend. The VA is supposed to cover it. Please reassure me. Thank you.
Great video on diving deeper into this treatment! Thank you. I just had my 1st prp injection in my knee. Had 17 billion platelets, but I'm uncertain if they injected them all, and if they were good healthy ones!
This is a very interesting video. I have seen 2 consultants for my complex tear to my medial meniscus. Both of them think PRP cannot help me. After 2 years of this injury I still believe I can get better even though they consider my injury to be degenerative.
What’s the recommended protocol for return to exercise following a PRP injection to the knee? Is there anything you should avoid that would hinder the effectiveness?
It really depends on what you had it for - PRP kickstarts the healing process but you then need to complete the full rehab needed to ensure your injury and knee is now strong enough for the sport you want to do.
Great video and I'm glad so many have great results. Please, if anyone can relate to my issue for some advice? In late 2021, after getting two rounds of Prolotherapy in Ann Arbor, MI. I had injections in C-5, C-6 and three weeks after the second session I was giving my dog a bath, leaning forward into the bathtub...suddenly a horrible pinched nerve hit me and affected me for months. This pain is in one of the exact injection sites....the severe pain subsided after 4 months but now, eight months later I am still in pain all day, every day! Could this be a needed injury? I am scheduling an appointment with my doctor this week but my hope has gotten slim. Sorry about this... I am usually very optimistic. Opinions or experiences are appreciated.
Thank you for this video. This may be a lot to ask, but where did you find your studies on best practices for determining the effectiveness of plasma? Or what studies did you reference for this video

Many thanks again for this wonderful video. My question is if there is any study that show whether PRP treatment works for posterior tibial tendinopathy where the healing is relatively slower due to poor blood circulation in that area. What do you personally think about it? Thank you very much in advance.
I've not come across any studies that specifically looked at that. The most common sites are the glutes, hamstring, quad and Achilles and they are the only ones where I have had patients who have had it.
Hi I twisted my thumb at work and had soft tissue damage at the side of the knuckle. 13 weeks later my thumb is still 20 % swollen compared to the other thumb and only bends half way and hurts when I stretch it. I think maybe it has now healed like this as I am seeing no improvement in the last few weeks. I went to physio and they said i dont need physio as i do have strength but I need to start to stretch my thumb down to help it bend more and that it may never be the same. I know someone who does this prp therapy. Do you think if I have that area injected it may help get rid of the scar tissue and maybe help my thumb get better ? Thanks in advance X
I had a calcaneus fracture and fracture got cured with the help of cast, but still I am my ankle is swelling if I walk more and Doctor suggested PRP for ankle, will that help my ankle to heal and reduce swelling? And will this be helpful permanently or we need to take it at some regular intervals ? Please suggest me
I can't really answer this question because I don't know what is wrong with your ankle - best to ask your doctor these questions as they will know the details of your case.
Hey, I have a partial tear in my Scapholunate ligament in my wrist. I just went to a clinic and they're telling me that after 2 PRP injections, within a year, if I were to get an MRI on my wrist, the ligament will actually be healed. Does this sound realistic to you? Thanks.

hi! so bricklayer 3 yrs out of work dealing with pain in my bicep inside elbow (both arms) and had many different type of treatments. now going to book prp . does prp injections help with distal bicep? thanks hope all is well cheers.
We don't currently have any videos about that - if you can let me know what type of information you are looking for with regards to dehydrated disks, I can add it to the list.
Thanks you - as far as I know you can't really reverse dehydration but you can regain good pain free function through exercise and strength training. It does 2 things - First it improves the circulation in the back so pain reduces and your joints and discs can be as healthy as possible and 2 strong muscles reduce the strain on the discs and help you move more easily.
It can take a while and varies a lot but you should usually resume gentle rehab after 10 days regardless of the pain - obviously keeping the rehab at a level that does not increase pain much or cause more discomfort.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio I had my PT appointment last week and she agreed to let me heal until I'm 100 pain free I'm at 80 percent depending on the day and my activity level but I'm hopeful as time goes by I'll be able to walk more without pain today I did a mile with not much pain after and I need to gain back strength on my left leg so maybe a mile was too much I'm taking it easy for the week
There are some studies to show that it may be useful. It doesn't work for everyone but if you've tried rehab exercises for at least 12 weeks and not seeing any improvement then it may be worth trying. You will still have to continue rehab after having it - it is not a magic bullet - it just enhances recovery - the exercise are still needed to strengthen the tendon.
Hey Swapnil, I'm also facing the same issue here. In Bangalore. The doctor has given 6 weeks worth of exercises and recommended PRP after that if the pain does not alleviate.
@@faiz3411 bhai plz give an update after your prp.. I am trying accupressure and magnet therapy.. lets see. And also watch el paso 's channel he gives some hope regarding surgery free recovery
Hi there. Thanks for these videos. It seems I have some bilateral adductor tendinopathy, more severely on the left side, which I have been doing rehab etc for the past 3 months. It has some improvement for sure so far, but just taking very long to fully recover. Do you think this type of injection may help with the healing? A recent ultrasound showed that there is still some inflammation at the insertion points on the pubic bone, which is of course a very slow healing area.
Yes, this injury easily takes 6 to 12 months to fully recover. PRP is a bit hit and miss. For some people it works like a charm and for others it has no effect.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio Thanks for the response. Today I tried to do a very slight increase in intensity with my usual sporting activity (I have been doing very little for the last 3 months, mostly just light drills that don't cause pain. I am hoping that tomorrow and the next day the adductors don't flare up again, which means I still need some more months to heal up. This is a very frustrating injury indeed!
You need to ask your doctor this. We don't offer these injections and only someone who has assessed you can recommend how many injections will be needed and how likely they are to helpp.
i dont think cartilage can be regenerated. if you have OA in the knee cartilage is most likely damaged and prp or lidocaine/dextrose will not help with cartilage regeneration. what prp/lidocaine/dextrose can help with replenish synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate the knee even with damaged cartilage. I know this because i have mild OA in my left knee and had lidocaine/dextrose injections which has help alot.

@@laoAnGame Yeah, i hope im wrong too. Study in rabbits did show cartilage regeneration but it was ear cartilage not articular cartilage. But there is still hope. I have 2cm loss in my left femur cartilage due to arthritis from old acl injury as a kid. I will have prp done in several weeks. hopefully it helps.
@@jeffhermida4788 Hi,thank you for the research of cartilage regeneration and I hope the prp will help you a lot. Both of my knees are slowly cartilage decayed for I began to play soccer when I was a teenage. I felt uncomfortable for the first time from my right knee when I was 27 or so. But I still kept exercise very often even it was painful.I couldn't endure the pain any more till the age of 35.So I got a Xray exam and it showed my two knees decayed,the most important reason is the cartilage losses.Now I'm 42 years old,tried a lot of ways to cure my knees in vain. I will have my prp injection for the first time next Thursday. I 'm a little bit nervous and wish I'd be good luck.
There's no mention of that in the research so I guess at this point it's not been tested yet. But one would kind of expect that if it can help arthritis in other joints it may be useful for the ankle. You'll find that these type of treatments are usually used experimentally on patients once studies in animals show that they may have benefit - the studies on humans usually only come later once clinicians have used them for a while.
Will it help with severe tightness due to upper cross syndrome? Came across that video today and have also had a C6/7 disc replacement due to herniated disc from a car wreck as a young child. Baie dankie
imho, key point here is that there is no standard on how long the blood is centrifuged. single spin gives you less PLT than double spin. each office varies. all of this varies on cost. lastly, there is no standard on frequency of prp injections. some offices inject 2 times; once every 2 weeks and some inject once weekly for total of 3 injects and others just give you one injection and see how you feel afterwards. there needs to be a universal standard.
