In this segment Dr. Joshua John‑Ram Schacter advocates for using a patient’s own tissue—platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) and bone‑marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)—as superior treatments for joint pain compared with conventional steroid injections. He cites studies indicating that PRP’s pain‑relief duration is 6–12 times longer than steroids, and that BMAC contains roughly 40 times more of the same healing factors found in concentrated PRP. He explains that these autologous biologics can effectively address conditions such as rotator‑cuff tears, moderate arthritis, and can be injected directly into the bone surrounding a joint to promote healing.
