Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains why pain sometimes increases after regenerative therapy. More pain doesn't mean the treatment failed; it signals your body is actively repairing tissue. Stay patient through the discomfort.
A lot of people say, well, if it hurts less, it's healing. That's not necessarily true. Sometimes when we do treatments, the joint will actually hurt a little bit more for a period of time. That means that the body is responding, that it's actually healing some of that tissue and that injury, and sometimes that takes a little bit more pain. So if you're having more pain after a regenerative therapy, or if you're having more pain with physical therapy, be patient with yourself.
