The Most Common Mistakes with PRP Injections

I had PRP injections for hip arthritis and 1 year later for severe plantar fasciitis. PRP has given me my life back! What this doctor says is so right on in my opinion. I’m 65 years old and PRP injections in my hips sure beats surgery! My PRP doctor was so good. He repeated told me to avoid pain meds and I recovered very well. Thank you for your clear videos, they helped me navigate my recovery.

Thank you for tackling this subject and providing us with vital information regarding PRP treatment. All too often, in my experience, most Orthopedists and even the sports medicine doctors I have gone to have little to no idea or knowledge about the importance of harvesting the ideal Platelet count (10+ billion) for optimal outcome in knee OA treatment. Your viewers have the right to know so they can choose a knowledgeable provider to administer this procedure. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your great information. Had a couple procedures done with Centeno Shultz, they’ve always taken dozens of tubes of blood. With their track record and longevity, they seem to have the system down great. Had one done at another location, which was sub optimal, with only 2 vials drawn.

I really apprecated all this very important info. I live in Maui, Hawaii and theres two drs. that provide this treatment and I think both of them MUST WATCH, LISTEN and UNDERSTAND your video!

Awesome video with lots of great information and guidance. Thank you.

GOD BLESS YOU PENG ...THIS INFO EXPLAINS MY PRP SECOND DOSE FAILURE.

Thank you so much Dr Jeff Peng . Its only now that I fully understood PRP Treatment.

Very helpful details

Excellent video and very informative

Hi Dr Peng, you have great information in your videos… thank you. It seems like the key to successful PRP is finding the right doctor. Do you recommend a doctor located in Connecticut? Thank you!

this was super helpful and informative

Hi I have been watching your videos for a while now. For about the past year and a half I have had pain on my left side and cannot figure out what it was. I went to my primary care went to two different orthopedic surgeons got a MRI and x-ray and nothing showed up on the MRI or x-rays. So I went and did the typical 12 week sessions of physical therapy, massage therapy, tried 3 rounds of trigger point injections, tried acupuncture, and chiropractic. None of these helped with the pain. I then went to a non surgical orthopedic doctor and they did an ultrasound and showed a tear in my serratus interior muscle. Which is a very rare area to tear I am noticing. So I was injected back in January with PPP. I also did three sessions of shockwave. About two weeks after my injection when the swelling went down my pain came back. I am almost three months out now and my same pain is back. Any suggestions???? Please help 😢 Thank you!!! ❤

Thanks for great informatiom could you please make avideo for the role.of prp for treatment deabtic foot.alcer thank u doctor

Dr. Peng - first off thank you so much for your insightful and efficient review of salient medical information. One question - should we also stop supplementation that acts on similar pathways as NSAIDs around a PRP (e.g., boswellia serrata, turmeric and curcumin)?

Excellent

I just received a PRP injection with 26 mls of blood drawn and 8 mls injected. This is to treat severe knee osteoarthritis. This is day 4 and I am crossing fingers for relief. The lack of Alleve for two weeks will be tough on my arthritis on my hands. This is a very informative video.

I am a disabled combat veteran of the U.S. Army. My first PRP in my knees got me out of the wheelchair after my first PRP the VA director stopped all PRP’s because she was missing out on her kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies for medications and joint replacements I was able to get another VA doctor in another city to do the PRP he did PRP two months in a roll and was going to do a third month and so many people had heard how well the PRP’s were working the were traveling to Helena Montana for PRP’s the VA director in Billings Montana orchestrated a champagne to stop all PRP’s state wide. I paid very close attention to how the PRP’s were done so I have ordered my very own centrifuge and all of the materials to do my own. I was not able to get the lidocaine but I am willing to do it without pain meds because it really works and without PRP I have no quality of life. I have also purchased the butterfly infrasound device. I wish it wasn’t so hard to get good treatment. I don’t have the money to pay someone to do the PRP at a cash price either so I will do it myself.

thank you for this information!
