  • Can it treat misaligned joints?

  • @backspins24

    and is called: "Bone marrow aspirate" most of the PRP machines get that done too

  • @pumperclown

    because surgery is more expensive and also this is natural, patient's own blood

  • There are doctors here in FL who are doing this with stem cells drawn from your own bone marrow or body fat (specifically the abdomen). I am hoping to get this done as i have re-injured my low back. I'm excited about this and the future of stem cell therapy!

  • I have had an arthrotomy surgery on my right foot IP joint of hallux, thsi was after a severe fracture. Currently I have an ostealchondral defect in the joint (confirmed by 3T MRI), it is very painful. Several surgeons recomended I fuse the joint, does anyone think PRP would work instead?

  • @EssiacHempLaetrile, I failed to see what your point in your statement was.

  • Interesting... Having many of my Pts comming in asking about this treatment instead of RTC surgery

  • Doesn't  elevated VEGF levels promote tumor growth?

  • can this treatment be used for kidney failure and other inter organ functioning?

  • I remember seeing a documentary on the human brain and what I will never forget was when they asked the 4 panel experts "how much do we know about the human mind". From a low 0 - 10 high scale the experts responses varied between 1 - 2!

    The other statement made by a panel expert was during sleep our brain is still functioning at 85%.

    My last comment I remember was when the human body slips into a Coma the brain is still 50% active.

    P.R.P. helped the 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers win the Super Bowl
