Why PRP Is The Best Knee Injection For Osteoarthritis
Показать описание
In this video, we discuss platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections as a superior alternative to cortisone, hyaluronic acid, and stem cell treatments for knee osteoarthritis. PRP, derived from a patient's own blood, is highly effective in reducing pain and improving function, as supported by numerous studies. Unlike cortisone and stem cell treatments, PRP also shows potential in slowing the progression of arthritis. Despite not being covered by insurance, PRP is endorsed by leading medical organizations for its significant benefits. I recommend PRP injections along with exercise, diet, and weight management for managing knee osteoarthritis.
