Nerve block vs hydrodissection: Blocks numb and are band-aid treatments, nerve hydrodissection restores nerve glide. Ultrasound guides a meticulous 360° fluid ring around the nerve to reduce pain. More coverage = more impact from PRP growth factors.

Packages sound convenient, but healing is not one-size-fits-all. Top tier clinic watch how your body responds over time. No assumptions. No unnecessary treatments. Just real results, one step at a time.
Don’t let someone sell you a timeline before they’ve even seen how you heal.

Sometimes you only need one injection.
So why pay for 3 before you’ve even had the first one?

Your MRI only shows you what structures might be painful, it doesn’t actually show your pain. This is why we can’t rely on an MRI alone when deciding which structures to treat, especially when we want to offer the highest level of care. Real healing starts with an accurate diagnosis of the pain-generating structures.
If you’re making a big decision about where to get stem cell treatment, don’t skip the most important part: the evaluation.

This was an absolutely FANTASTIC discussion with a long time friend, colleague, and brother in Christ.
We go deep on regenerative injections such as PRP and stem cell therapy, and also talk about peptide therapy.
Watch and enjoy!

PRP Results Are Dose Dependent
Low Dose = Low Results

Most people assume that stem cells are magic, but even the best regenerative injection can’t overcome inaccurate diagnosis and/or poor technical placement. The best clinics obsess over both the diagnosis and where the cells get injected. That’s what leads to real healing.

Do you want to work with a clinic that treats you as a unique individual or one that places you in an algorithm?
I’ll let you answer that one.

The most common reason PRP injections fail is simple, it’s misdiagnosis.
But one of the other common reasons (but not the most common) is rarely discussed, which is that the platelet dose is too low.
Most patients assume that PRP is PRP, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Research, especially in knee osteoarthritis, shows that higher platelet concentrations consistently lead to more pain reduction and greater improvements in function and quality of life.
Unfortunately, many clinics use low-concentration kits or fail to adjust the dose according to your specific condition. That means your tissue are not getting the proper stimulus to really kickstart a strong healing response.
If you want results from PRP, platelet dose matters. Always ask what system they’re using and whether they tailor the concentration to your specific diagnosis.
As a general rule, PRP should be a minimum of 1.2 billion platelets/mL (optimal is likely 2-4 billion platelets/mL). If you’re getting an injection for knee osteoarthritis, the minimum total dose should be 10 billion platelets.

If you’ve tried PRP and didn’t see results, you may have been underdosed. This isn’t about the technique being flawed, it’s about how it's used.
Most clinics don’t quantify or optimize the platelet dose. But research shows that platelet concentration directly impacts clinical outcomes. Before deciding PRP isn’t for you, ask the right question: was it even dosed correctly?
