For the young and elderly patient, stem cell and platelet rich plasma injections (PRP) for chronic disabling degenerative joint disease is the most cutting edge medicine available in order to drastically improve function that involves minimally invasive techniques. As of recently, very little has been provided between conservative care involving physical therapy or medications and a physician referring for surgical correction. Over the last few years, we have been providing these minimally invasive pain free procedures to improve a patient’s functioning through the healing and regrowth of vital joint tissue such as bone, cartilage and ligament. To be clear, the goal is to improve physical function and reduce pain. This medical treatment has been supported by abundant research in human and animal models so patients may be confident in the success of their care.
