Biologic treatments. That's the discussion this week with Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Grant Garcia. We've heard of some of the top athletes in the world getting Platelet-rich plasma and Stem cell treatments for faster and more productive recovery when it comes to injuries and surgeries. These procedures are no longer being used just on these athletes, You and I can now get these treatments and that's exciting for many reasons.
Dr. Garcia discusses PRP & stem cell treatments and how they differentiate from one another. Picking one treatment over another comes down to many reasons and unfortunately costs play into that decision also.
I was surprised to learn that not every facility is the same, especially when it comes to using the proper equipment for getting your platelets ready. That alone can determine the success of using treatments such as PRP. We discuss these concerns and what to look for and ask when searching out proper treatment.
It's a very informative show recommended for everyone to learn more about biological treatments and the continuous push in medicine not only today but in the future. For more information check out grantgarciamd.com
Dr. Grant Garcia has advanced accredited fellowship training in sports medicine and shoulder surgery and this is the primary focus of his practice.
