Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter tore his MCL in November and is getting a PRP injection in his left knee. PRP works as a potent anti-inflammatory and can help soft tissue remodel and heal intra-articular injuries.
All right, everybody. So here we are. I told you. I'm going to get a PRP injector for my left knee. I tore my MCL in November. And if anybody's had an MCL injury, they know it's painful and it's a long process and it can take several months to get better. There's a lot of variation in what we can do with our biologics treatments. We can aim at just treating inflammation. We could treat inflammation and tissue damage. We could augment healing. There's a lot of ways that we can adjust the settings in the cell counts, apothemize healing. And so for me, for my knee, we're going to do just platelet rich plasma into my knee joint. We're doing that because it's a very potent anti inflammatory, also helps the soft tissues to remodel, and can heal some intranticular injuries.
