Find out more about Dr. Joe Albano in Cottonwood Heights, Utah: https://albanoclinic.com/

Here’s an article I wrote for the Albano clinic: https://albanoclinic.com/10-best-exercises-after-a-stem-cell-injection-in-your-knee/

Today Dr. Joe Albano and Alyssa discuss stem cells, PRP (platet-rich plasma) and other surgical alternatives to osteoarthritis. Research is now starting to be developed about these regenerative medicine procedures and have the potential to bring symptom relief if consistent conservative management like diet, exercise, and strength training have not helped your pain. These are exciting procedures to learn about and it is amazing the technology that continues to be developed! 

Please note, just like almost all other medical procedures these procedures aren’t guaranteed to bring you relief. Make sure to weigh the options in order to make the best decision for yourself.
