Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter (speaker) contrasts steroid injections with orthobiologics for joint health, stating steroids worsen joints over time and lose effectiveness, whereas orthobiologics (PRP, stem-cell, bone marrow aspirate injections) can improve joints with serial treatments. The speaker (from Pinnacle) presents orthobiologics as a safer, more effective option short- and long-term and invites patients to consult about the treatment.
