Platelet-rich Plasma Treatment for Injured Tendons, Muscles and Joints

- Dr. Brian C. Halpern, Sports Medicine Physician at Hospital for Special Surgery, discusses how platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may help treat injured bone or soft tissue, such as a tendon or ligament. Produced from a person's own blood, PRP is a concentration of a type of cells called platelets which contain factors that are essential for healing tissues. PRP has been shown to help improve function in people with conditions such as chronic tendonitis, arthritis, tennis elbow, golfer elbow, rotator cuff tears and Achilles tendon injuries.
The PRP treatment process starts with a blood sample that is taken from a patient. The blood is put into a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the blood. After the PRP is treated, it is injected back into the patient's injured area of bone or soft tissue. Some patients who received a PRP injection experienced improved function and less pain within two to six weeks following treatment. Because PRP is created from a patient's own blood, it is considered a relatively low-risk treatment with the potential to improve or speed healing. Further studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of PRP treatment. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I had in for tennis elbow. Worked 100% was pain-free in 2 weeks and back to lifting weights
Hi may I ask, did you take a cbc test? Wherein the platelet count on your body reveals.
Do platelet count is a guideline for needing prp medicine?
And what imaging test the doctor did.
Is it ultrasound or another type of imaging test.
Thank you
Btw how many times you get the injection?
Thank you
Glad to hear you’re feeling better! Thanks for reaching out.
PRP is the real deal! Trust me! The reason why big pharma won't recommend it is because they're not selling any meds for this procedure to be done. All it's needed is your own blood and the problem is fixed! Had a severe ligament injury and was at the surgery door, gave PRP a try and in 3 weeks I was running pain free again, had two shots (every other week). Docs were saying surgery was the only option, and that would put me out for 6 months at least, not to mention financial costs, Just imagine... ! 🤦♂️ I recommend you to spend some time and do a decent search, you will surely find clinics doing it for less than $500, easily!
Thinking of having this done for MTP Capsulitis of 2nd toe.
It's all a scam .. I had stem cells and prolotherapy, it did absolutely nothing!
Im planning for my shoulder cartilage damage, but many docs say it wont heal cartilage, did it help you cartilage
PRP Works. I had 1 session a week for 3 weeks on patella tendonitis . My knee is brand new now.
Slowyslow i had 1 section 3 weeks ago on patellar tendinitis; the pain in my knee has totally disappear. I'm starting therapy next week. From your expert analysis, do i still need more than one section despite the improvement of pain in my knee?
@@TheEmmlegend1 Hows your knee now?
@@TheEmmlegend1 whats your status now?
III Eagle III he’s gone he didn’t make it to his next session
2020 and still no issues with knee . Rub the needle scar tissue out yourself for recovery . PRP works
Doc may I ask, what type of imaging scan?
Is that ultrasound? Thank you
i have used PRP several times for different sport injuries and it has never failed!
Does it hurt because I got to get prp on both of my shoulder next week
@@alexisgarman1240 just curious how was it, did it hurt bad, has it worked? I'm considering getting it done for my tennso elbow that has been lingering
@@alexisgarman1240 how did it go?
It's all a scam .. I had stem cells and prolotherapy, it did absolutely nothing!
Would this help whiplash? How much does do you think it would cost. This is a almost 4 yr injury. Does it matter if its an old injury. Thanks in advance
Hi is this the same treatment aka Lipogems ? Thanks.
Does this work for a thinning of a TFCC?
What is the mini carton beverage with straw drink? Does that help with the effects?
Doc may I ask if platelet count on cbc test is it a guideline if you need to take prp?
Thank you
I had in done on my ankle when my ligament were torn while playing football, healed like magic. Now after 5 years my other leg ankle has broken and will try this again
Have you tried it for hernia?
Getting my elbow done next week!!
Hey Bro, How do you feel after the treatment?
@@user-jd8ef3mc5h oh my word.... What a difference!!!
Will this help with CPPD or gout?
I just had it done yesterday. OMG the pain! In the video they don't show him actually going through the injection. I have a torn patellar tendon in my knee. That was the prolly the worst 2 mins of my life and I have a decent pain tolerance but don't let that get in the way of getting the procedure. Hopefully I can update with some good news because I've been in pain the past 5 months. Im really hoping this works.
have it worked?
They did show him getting injected. You can see the needle in the ultrasound.
I ve got local anesthesia
Sounds exactly what I need. I developed a sensitivity (soreness) on my left thigh after my last left hip operation. I use laser light treatment and I message it, it works, however sensitivity (soreness) comes back within two days. When I feel the sensitivity (soreness) I start to wobbled when I walk, not a good look.
About to get this done at OHSU for a rectus abdominus distal tear
May I ask, what type of imaging test did the doctor did to you?
Is it an ultrasound? Thank you
Does this repair micro tears in the arm (bicep area)?
Keep getting it if the pain reappears.
We're all the good reviews...
Can stem cells or prp work in stress fracture upper extremity bone only no soft tissue damage or no?
does it help labrum tear
Please tell me this can be used on patellar tendonitis knee scarring tissue. After 2 years post injury I can do squats, leg presses and leg extensions but I can tell something about the tissue is not right and doesn't feel right. Like a frayed cable must feel. Lol
Any benefit for ligament injuries like sprained thumbs or ankles?
absolutely!
Why does insurance cover the procedure
Insurance doesn't cover PRP. 2023 PRP is going to cost me $1200 per session.
Hi there, how long does the healing take?
Watch the whole video?
Is the prp injected into the joints or surrounding areas?
They puncture the tendon and fill it with the blood plasma.
I am about to have a corticosteroid shots in both CMC joints for pain relief, will this compromise the PRP therapy which I want to begin shortly? I have to be able to go to work, don't want time off so pain relief is really important
Do prp really works? Thank you
Yes. I am proof it works.
What type of injury you had?
How many sessions did you get and btw what type of imaging test the doctors did to you? Is it an ultrasound
Thank you
Hello sir, does this injection works well for a low grade meniscus tear ?
yes it can help meniscus tear, but you should have 2-3 injections 3 weeks apart - i had them and it worked
@@christouvelos4897may I ask how much is the injection?
Thank you
I have a moderate supraspinatus tendinosis. I have a lot of pain in my shoulder with clicking sound 😭.
I have it in my both shoulders (8 years from when it started ) , I feel your pain
Would a person with a Muscle belly Tear be a candidate for PRP , have you had anybody with a muscle belly tear who healed after prp?
A hernia will require surgery.
@@1stfirsttexanif it's a muscle problem, is prp applicable? Thank you
Would this be recommended for frozen shoulder ?
There is no cure for frozen shoulder
How painful was it?
Sand Z vrryy verryyy veryy
Man I almost fainted I cried for like 30 mins smh never again
I have the option to do this or possibly surgery. If I did this they said I could take a percocet, but he won't give me a shot to numb it first. I heard it hurts really bad to have it done. Idk what to do, but the pain my shoulder is in is unbearable at times!
I got this done today (ankle tear) it hurted so bad I almost passed out! I hope it heals my muscle still......
How did it work out for your ankle tear ?
@@tomg2304 no reply.. We have to take it that it didn't work..
@@richardbranson8658 lol or maybe she didnt get notified about the reply
Same for me worse pain ever. I hope it it works
@@Squids_VlogsI mean "it 'hurted' so bad" 😅 she never got to reply back unless she's living the time of her life.
I got done aftwr my wisdom teeth removal :)
Just had PRP for a torn medial tendon in my Left elbow. It's been 7 days so I'm still resting the arm. I'm hopeful but nervous. When can I resume kettlebells training and my Massage Therapy job safely? How much pain is normal healing?
Update?
@@darian5428 The prp injection was May 4th. June 11th now and some slow progress but still painful and swelling daily. Doing my job (Massage therapist) hurts. I still can't do kettlebells as this also requires flexing/extending at the elbow & wrist with load. It wakes me up at night less frequently than before. I hope it heels more in the weeks to come. Any feedback would be appreciated please.
@@ginetteblier Hey! I had a Similar situation to you. I got 3 of the injections over a 2-3 month period for a torn labrum and rotator cuff and also in my hip for tears. Felt alot my pain in my shoulders thsn hip and the recovery was slower. But getting the 2nd and 3rd I felt the huge difference where I’m back to how I felt 10 years ago. Amazing to not rely on pain meds or surgery
@@user-eo4jq7fs6nis it still painful?
Or prp really works? Thank you
Can PRP only treat the meniscus tear?
Hi Abdulaziz - Thank you for reaching out. The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP), a portion of the patient's own blood having a platelet concentration above baseline, to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, can be applied to various musculoskeletal problems. For more information, please visit ow.ly/7nNd30aYU5z.
Abdulaziz Adil my doctor told me PRP will not treat meniscus tear
Thanks for the video. Could this help for a low grade anterior supraspinatus tear? Could it also help with tendinopathy in the infraspinatus?
Can we please have an update for this person and how many treatments they had, cost, etc.? I wonder if this is covered by insurance and imagine it’s probably not.
Leptin I hear you. I made good progress after 5 months. Finding a PT that specializes in shoulders is key. Definitely drove me mad too. I had a set back last week where I did something unaware. I’m going in for an MRI this week. Before imaging they think it’s inflamed and doesn’t take as long to get back but this requires the most patience I’ve EVER had to cultivate in my life. Mistakes are costly with temperament and all. I wish you the best. My PT creates a lot of research in the field for rotator cuffs and said strengthening creates the best results possible. Wishing you patience and to grieve what you’ve lost for now. You’re not broken though. Adjustments may need to be made but you can get the physique you want. We have to stay out of our ego and learn the exercises and to restrict and be patient in rehab. I believe in you. You can do it.
@@ironchad5656 How are you doing? I have a supraspinatus partial tear and Im not sure which is better if PRP or Corticosteroids
@@Jc18able Turns out I have a torn labrum which makes sense the amount of overhead press I've been doing the past couple of years. I'll need surgery which means longer off the gym unfortunately. I'm not a doctor but sounds like PRP speeds up the healing process, whereas corticosteroids reduce inflammation.
This was discovered in 1980. Since when is 1980 a few years ago?
Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Parlandealey Flexible Elbow Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning how to cure tennis elbow without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend after many years got great success with it.
The year I was born. 😉
How much does this typically cost?
In my country (Morocco) one shot costs 250$
Had mine done today....cost me $600+
Why do i feel more pain after injection? normal?
@Sujith Kumara left knee meniscus grade one lateral tear. Will it be helpful for meniscus?
Let me guess... insurance doesn't cover PRP
Hi Bill- Great question! Most health insurance plans consider this treatment experimental or investigational and therefore do not cover PRP therapy. For more information on which plans do cover PRP treatment, it would be best to consult with our Physician Referral Service. They can be reached at 888-720-1982 or by filling out the following web form: www.hss.edu/secure/prs-appointment-request.htm.
Bill Kitsch hi, I have cigna. I was told that based on recent studies, plasma injection does not work.
I used to have Cigna I have been told by other hospitals they wild anything to get our of paying acclaim and it was a full time job fighting with Cigna it is in their best interest to say that to you but not in yours!
Hi can this injection work on my herniated disk in my neck?
How are you know? I just got PRP injected for herniated disk in the neck.
@@jacksuwanpradit6992 did this work for you?
@@RJ-rm3fy It's pretty good, recovered pretty fast. I'd say I can get back to doing everyday stuff (working, computer, carry stuff) within about 3 weeks. But I also try to get in some therapy sessions every now and then. I haven't had my 2nd shot yet.
What about myofacial pain syndrome upper back
Maybe it’s cervical facet joint syndrome
My upper back was painful too
This was my neck problem
Now this is relevant for corona
Frequency and sound will heal those things friend.
Preference is for like tissue agreeing with one's physical anatomy.
I cut my tendon on my wrist
I had 1 session a week for a 4 weeks on patella tendonitis.Results: 0 POINTS my tendon still hurts
lies.. u only get given a injection every 3 months.. 1 session a week.. u full of BS..I Dont believe you...
Can PRP treat meniscus tear?
How many days does PRP takes to heal knee injury...how many seatings of PRP is required for 100% recovery?
Kindly suggest...
Amitesh Mishra no it doesn't work for meniscus tear .
I had stem cell therapy on my knee with a meniscus tear, ACL sprain and near bone on bone. It worked! I actually needed a knee replacement and opted for the stem cell instead. So glad I did.
Kathy Randolph where did you get your stem cell therapy?
@@kathyrandolph3329 Where did you get it done? Please My knee is bone to bone anyone please help??????
@@jessieurgea9899 did you resolve you’re issue? Try Cdi in Tijuana
Optimistically, each patient is treated with care according to the purpose of the Hipocratic oath. Humans dominate.
And it's not covered by insurance companies.
God they suck
Argbhh.... Another left speaker video !!!! Gosh !!! Stop it !!!
