Why Not Just Give Platelet Rich Plasma To Every Patient
With Joint Instability?
Ross Hauser, M.D.

Here is my bottom line related to joint instability and Platelet Rich Plasma PRP. If you have joint instability, you can receive PRP Prolotherapy to the joint a hundred times and you will continue to have instability if ligament laxity (weakness) is involved.

One shot of PRP into a joint is not going to regenerate an injured, lax ligament that is responsible for providing joint stability.

The following case is a perfect example. A patient came to see me because PRP Prolotherapy from another physician was not helping his hamstring tendinosis. The patient thought he had spent over $5000.00 for the PRP Prolotherapy. On physical examination, the patient exhibited obvious hypermobility in his entire body, especially his right knee on the side of the hamstring pain. What he needed was Hackett-Hemwall Prolotherapy to his knee, as well as to the hamstring attachment on the ischial tuberosity. It was the stabilization of his knee with Hackett-Hemwall Prolotherapy, however, that made all the difference. He was able to get back to full activities after two Prolotherapy treatments.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
