I herniated L4/L5 and L5/S1 in Nov 2022 turning an obese patient at work.

After failing out PT twice (not making any improvement), surgery or PRP -platelet rich plasma injections were recommended for me. Like you, I didn’t want surgery so I opted to try Platelet Rich Plasma injections.

I went through two treatments of PRP about 3 months apart and feel better than before my injury.

If you have another flare up, look into that. I was amazed at how effective it was and still is.

Like the similar stem cell treatment, neither are covered by insurance, right?
