In this episode I chat with Dr. Scott Shallow a Sports Medicine Doctor, about what Sports Medicine is, what they assess and how they treat. We dive deeper into cortisone injections to understand when are they good to have and how they work for tendon injuries and osteoarthritis pain. We talk about PrP injections, (which stands for plasma rich platelet injections) who can benefit from them and how it works. We also talk about Prolo therapy and stem cell injections. This is a great episode for anyone with tendon tears, arthritis, chronic repetitive strain injuries and pain. We also welcome healthcare providers to listen and learn more about how to collaborate with Sports Medicine Doctors and how they can be a great addition to the multi-disciplinary approach.
