Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2022
I saw Dr. Richnak almost 2 years ago for severe left hip OA from exercise over-use from 40 years of long distance running and ultra marathoning. I would highly recommend Dr. Richnak and his staff and had a positive experience. His plan of care was 3 injections spaced out on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The first injection was prolotherapy, the second harvesting of my own stem cells from my pelvis and with re-injection , and finally platelet rich plasma from blood taken from me. The procedures themselves were minimally painful and no down time. The procedure improved my condition approximately 75% and have been able to maintain it. I have not ben able to run again since the procedures but am able to bike, and hike and have decreased pain and improved mobility and quality of life. Next month, I am going in for a booster of platelet rich plasma to see if I can get over my plateau.
