Are PRP injections a temporary fix or a long-term solution for chronic pain? This is one of the most common questions I get asked in my practice. In this video, I dive deep into the science and my personal experience with PRP and stem cell therapies.

I'll share my journey with chronic back pain, the impact of multiple PRP injections, and whether the relief I experienced was permanent or if it "wore off" over time. Plus, I’ll discuss why PRP therapy may offer lasting benefits, what factors influence its effectiveness, and how new injuries can affect your results.

If you're considering PRP therapy for pain relief, this video will give you the insights you need to make an informed decision. Don't miss the discussion on how PRP compares to other treatments like corticosteroid injections and why it could be the right choice for you.

Hello, I am 27 years old and have a tfcc wrist injury. I first treated it with cortisone injections and wrist immobility and it worked immediately (3 weeks). Then it started to hurt again after 5 months. Now I am trying with PRP three injections. After 4 weeks I am still in pain and see no improvement. Do you recommend that I use steroids again?

Drew, you have gaps in your knowledge about prolo/PRP and the msk. When I have time I’ll explain c-fibers (our prior exchange) and why PRP as you call it, works (with proper technique and protocols). I want to take my time explaining without being too wordy, so be patient. I’ve got a lot on my plate at this time of year.
