Dr. Calodney and Dr. Chang Chien have an informative conversation over the use of regenerative medicine. They both agree that the reliance of corticosteroids in pain medicine may not be the best option for long term, chronic pain, as these continuous steroid injections can actually be catabolic to the surrounding tissues. Dr. Chang Chien talks about current research that demonstrates the efficacy of platelet rich plasma over other commonly used injectants for OA. Dr. Calodney discusses the pros and cons for these regenerative options for degenerative disc disease.
