This sounds simple, however the best PRP or BMC treatment will not work if used for the wrong diagnosis, and many practitioners in Kansas City and around the country recommend these treatments in an undiscriminating manner for any orthopedic condition, often because of a lack of understanding of the mounting body of research behind these treatments. (hyperlink to best articles of 2019). As a result, these treatments are not uncommonly performed to treat conditions that predictably will not show benefit to these patients. By explaining the chances that a treatment will lead to a good outcome and explaining very clearly when it is not expected to be helpful, Dr. Khadavi saves many of his patients months of recovery time and thousands of dollars of unneeded treatment costs by providing precision in his regenerative treatment options.
