Short talk (YouTube video/transcript) by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter contrasting steroid injections with regenerative treatments. The speaker argues that regenerative options (e.g., PRP and stem-cell approaches) improve joint health and longevity without the joint-damaging effects attributed to steroid injections, and recommends avoiding steroid injections when possible.
So what's a better option than a steroid injection? Well, a better option than a steroid injection is to do something that doesn't damage your joint. So basically what we want to do is we want to make your joint healthier. Regenerative options like PRP products from your own body and stem cell enhance the health of your joint, promote its longevity, and reduce that damage over time, and don't damage your joint like steroid injections. So we want to avoid those steroid injections and look for better options.
