First, if these “stem cell therapies” actually worked, don’t you think they would be in widespread use at all major medical centers? Well they’re not. Second, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) does have value as an anti-inflammatory (it works for some well, not so much for others depend on the immune response), it won’t help bone-on-bone issues. You may experience some temporary reduction in pain level but you’re not going to regenerate a new knee, shoulder, etc. Third, these treatments are NOT approved by the FDA and Medicare will not pay for them. Fourth, there are class-action lawsuits against the company - do an Internet search, you’ll find them. I’ve spoken to some folks who were treated there - the only long-term results they got were lighter wallets (treatments can run $1,000-$6,000+). Caveat emptor, as they say!
