In this testimonial interview, Brooke discusses her experience after completing a series of platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections and Invital laser treatments for chronic knee pain. Before treatment she rated her pain around 5/10. Following the PRP package and two laser sessions, she reports an 80‑90% reduction in pain, less swelling, and improved range of motion, though she notes some residual stiffness as the PRP effects are still recent. Brooke emphasizes that the laser treatment felt dramatically better than the first session, allowing her to descend stairs without jolting pain. She recommends the combined PRP‑laser approach to others with chronic knee pain who wish to avoid surgery, describing it as a viable option to regain activity. The interview concludes with a note that she has one more laser session pending, which is expected to bring further improvement.

Chapters

I'm here this morning with Brooke, who just completed her Invital laser treatment, her second treatment after her procedure she had on Friday, which was the second series of a PRP package. Before her treatment, her knee pain was about a 5 out of 10, would you say? And then after completing your PRP package and your laser treatments, how would you say your knee is today?
Um, I would say it's like 80-90% better, and I still have, you know, I still have a little bit of healing that's going on because it's fairly new after the second PRP treatment. But I walked downstairs the other day and was really shocked that that didn't give me a jolting pain like it normally does.
Awesome. And then what would you say about bending and your range of motion with your knee now?
It's better. It's a little stiff because the PRP was so recent, but Yeah, this second treatment was just light years different from the first treatment, and yeah, a lot less swelling and pain.
So what would you say to anyone who has any knee pain?
I think this is a great option, um, if you've got like chronic pain or pain that just stops you in your lifestyle of doing things that you want to do. For me, I didn't want to do a surgery, but I knew that this was a consistent pain that wasn't going away and I needed to do something.
Awesome. Perfect. All right, well, we're great. And you still have one more laser treatment to follow, so you'll still keep seeing improvements even after that.
