Does anyone know what PM&R spine and sports fellowships are doing PRP injections?

All of them.


Nothing more than a trigger point or tendon injection with spun blood.

Would not yet recommend injecting the spine, but the peripheral stuff- no biggie.

Actually not many "sports and spine" fellowships have PRP exposure. Most of the sports only fellowships do. The one program the stood out when I was interviewing was Southwest spine and sports in Arizona http://www.swspineandsports.com/ . Excellent fellowship with exposure to PRP, accupuncture, advanced Interventional spine and sports medicine.

Thank you for the replies. I am interested to see how PRP type injections develop in the United States. I see the example of Dr. Peter Wehling in Germany at the Center for Orthopaedics and Molecular Medicine. I find it interesting how he looks at the molecular level to combat Osteoarthritis.

The general consensus I hear is that it helps 40-80% that have the injections. I think it would be a nice tool to be exposed to during fellowship training.

I think he is a fraud and a charlatan. Look at his quality work on youtube.

The only thing in medicine that helps 80% of people is time and opioids.

Anything with a $1000 out-of-pocket pricetag is going to have a huge placebo effect.
