Like the similar stem cell treatment, neither are covered by insurance, right?
Correct.
And at first that made me hesitate but when I did the math in terms of meeting my OOP deductible, lost time off from work and rehab if I did surgery - and knowing full well a back is NEVER the same after surgery- it was more affordable to do the PRP.
I will say this though about the PRP- if you’re having it done on your back- opt for the sedation.
The first treatment I had to be in Memphis later that day so I couldn’t be sedated and drive- and it was EXCRUCIATING. even with local anesthesia.
The second round I did - they gave me 4mg of versed and woke me up when they were done. Never felt a thing.

The PT I'm seeing now does not accept insurance. At first it was sticker shock, but I did the same thing as you. Looked at my Deductible and OOP Max, 6 months of PT would be about the same price I would have to pay for another MRI.
I'll look into PRP though, may be beneficial to do this as well!
ETA - Do you follow any specific stretching/mobility program? When I do discontinue PT, I know I do better when I have a plan to follow.
