Are all PRP treatments the same?
Not all PRP Created equally. One ☝️ size does not fit it all. I treated a shoulder and knee problems with different PRP preparations today. A colleague of mine asked me why does it take 1.5 hours to do a knee or a shoulder injection like what the guy down the road does. That made me think about the answer deeply. The answer is Musculoskeletal structures pathologies need different treatment with different Plasma preparations. Treating the Joint as an organ system is more complex than a simple injection that the guy down the road can do. It needs proper planning after understanding the pathology to know what to address and how to address it. Thats not to add the extensive training required to do it under image guidance #regenerativemedicine #prp #plateletrichplasma #orthobiologics #stemcells #stemcelltherapy #musculoskeletal #pain #chronicpain #healing #fitness #advancement #osteoarthritis #sportsinjury #arthritis #ehlosdanlossyndrome #fibromyalgia
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
