Platelet-Rich Plasma: Regenerative Medicine

Prolotherapy is specifically discussed as a Regenerative alternative to Cortisone Shots and bracing…

Along with Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections, which you can read more about here

Regenerative, meaning a treatment that supports healing, repair and regeneration…

As opposed to treatments, specifically Corticosteroid Injections, which suppress the healing response, and can lead to degeneration – Which means breakdown and decay.

Dr. Woznica describes the differences he has seen viewing elbows under Diagnostic Ultrasound (also known as a Sonogram)…

Comparing both elbows of a patient, one uninjured vs one which was injured and had received 5-6 Cortisone Shots, he describes the tendons of the uninjured / non-injected side as appearing “pristine”

Whereas, the injured / injected side appeared to be “thickened, irregular and showing signs of partial tears”
