Does my Achilles tendon need a PRP injection or Stem Cell injection?

One of my best friends has pain and swelling in his Achilles tendon, right in the watershed region that we know develops Achilles tendinosis and can even rupture.

He was understandably worried. He asked me, “Does my Achilles tendon need a PRP injection or Stem Cell injection?”

I explained to him that he was asking the wrong question.

I said, the right question is, “Do I need an injection at all.”

Next I gave him access to the Achilles Tendon Course where he could go through the 5 step process I teach in the Achilles Tendon Course for Runners so he could figure out how serious your Achilles tendon really may be.

Problem solved…no stem cell injection no PRP injection. No stem cell injection. No fracture walking boot. No cast. No surgery. Today he is running.

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we’re talking about whether or not a PRP injection vs. a stem cell injection would be better in an Achilles tendon injury.
