I saw on your website the Patient Guide to Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment of Musculoskeletal Problems. It says, "blood injection therapy has been used for knee osteoarthritis, degenerative cartilage, and spinal fusion." I'd like to know about the spinal fusion part since that's something I might end up needing. Could this injection therapy work for me? 7 weeks 4 days ago 65
I've been doing some investigation myself on-line looking at results of studies using blood injection therapy for bone healing. So many of the studies seem to suggest it doesn't always work as well as expected. Why not? I was kind of hoping this could be something that would help me with my very unstable low back. 7 weeks 4 days ago 58
I am a manager of a large work force in a physical (not virtual) setting. Many of our middle-aged workers (the dependable "lifers" we call them) are dropping out and into early retirement due to back problems. It costs us much more to train someone new than to rehab a good, productive worker. What can we do to stop the "strain drain" (our term for lost productivity due to back pain). 11 weeks 3 days ago 70
Our company is going to move us away from sitting at desks more toward a standing station. This is supposed to help us reduce our work stress and hopefully reduce absenteeism due to back problems. Do other companies have as much problem with lost productivity due to back disability as we do? 11 weeks 3 days ago 109
Should I go ahead and agree to let the surgeon use the special bone growth sponges available now for my spinal fusion? After reading the list of all the things that can go wrong, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. 18 weeks 3 days ago 94
