Joy Kong, MD explains stem cell and IV infusion therapy for musculoskeletal injuries. About 90% of patients see improvement, though results depend on injury severity and size. One patient recovered from a plantar plate injury and ran an Ironman in two and a half months.
About 90%.
Approximately 50% to 100% (partial to complete recovery).
IV infusion.
Two and a half months.
For musculoskeletal repair. I would say 90% of patients will see some kind of improvements. Some will see more drastic improvements. They may feel completely fine. I had a patient with plantar plate injury, one of the toughest conditions. He saw three podiatrists and they all told him that he needed surgery. So what I did was that I provided IV infusion. He was able to reach complete 100% recovery because within two and a half months he was able to run a ironman. It was a beautiful result. It can happen that way, but it may be partial improvement. For some people, it may be only, let's say, 50% or 90% improvement. So everyone is a little different. It depends on how severe the injury may be, how much tear there is.
