Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter talks with a patient named Johnny about using PRP treatment for knee pain. Johnny had a previous knee replacement and discusses how the treatment affected him.
Let's do some squats. Let's just squat down for me.
Oh, no, that's. That's always been hard for me.
You got it. You got it. Johnny had prp in which knee?
In my right knee.
In your right knee. And it was in December. Would you mind giving us your age?
I'm 57 years old.
57 years old. So pretty active guy.
Yes.
Get around a lot. What was life like before we did your PRP treatment? What were you challenged with?
It was painful. Not able to do any activities without pain.
So it affected all of your activities.
Exactly. Yes.
Gotcha. And what finally triggered you to come in and talk to us here at Pinnacle?
You've replaced my left knee, and I want to come back and see you again, possibly for surgery. Where we sat down and talked and gave me some other options. This stem cell. We decided to go.
That route, and it's a viable alternative. I mean, the amount of relief that we can get is real.
