PRP Case Study
R.V. is a 43 year old engineer who came to Caring Medical with complaints of left knee pain and weakness after kicking a heavy bag during what this patient calls “extreme martial arts”. He denied swelling, but felt as if his knee was loose with any lateral motion along with crunching upon bending his knee.

His physical examination revealed tenderness of the patellar tendon, MCL, and medial meniscus. An x-ray showed no abnormalities.

Prolotherapy was done at his first visit using Manganese and Procaine added to the base Prolotherapy solution. After his 3rd visit, at 4 week intervals, he reported 70% improvement overall.

Because he was doing so well, R.V. increased his activities and by his 4th visit he had regressed to about 20% so a stronger solution using sodium morrhuate/cod liver oil extract was given, and an MRI of the knee was ordered. The MRI - See Knee Research Study showed a small tear of the inferior surface of the posterior horn medial meniscus.

The sodium morrhuate solution along with the addition of human growth hormone (HGH) and glucosamine to stimulate cartilage repair, was given every 4 weeks for the next 4 visits, but he plateau’d at 20% improvement. At his next appointment, Dr. Hauser and the patient decided to use PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). R.V received 6 PRP treatments at an interval of one every 6 weeks. At his last appointment, he reported 75% overall improvement in his left knee with decreased pain and crunching in knee and is able to continue “extreme” martial arts training

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.
