If you’ve been told that your only option is Cortisone injections or that nothing can be done to reverse your osteoarthritis or cartilage erosion, you do have options.

Bone-on-bone, or Osteoarthritis, occurs when the cartilage, which protects joints, deteriorates from wear, injury, or the aging process. The result is:

- Limited Joint Mobility
- Decreased Range of Motion
- Extremely Painful

The most common treatment is Cortisone injected into the afflicted area. However, this only alleviates pain TEMPORARILY and causes FURTHER DAMAGE to your joints.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, an innovative procedure that is gaining momentous popularity, has been used with successful results in the treatment of cartilage deterioration and improvement to bone-on-bone conditions even without surgery.

30% of American Adults will experience joint pain that limits their activity. You don't have to suffer, or slow down.

The Mayo Clinic even warns about Steroid Injections:

Limits on the number of cortisone shots

There's some concern that repeated use of cortisone shots may cause deterioration of the cartilage within a joint. For this reason, doctors typically limit the number of cortisone shots into a joint. In general, cortisone injections should not be given more often than every six weeks and usually not more than three or four times a year. (That's only 24 weeks of "relief")

With Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) the healing factors in your blood work to rebuild the cartilage, repairing the source of pain - with continued cascading healing properties as time goes on.
