It’s my first day back after my second PRP on my knees. I’m going to try and swing easy today, but I’m very excited to play some golf and I’m not feeling any pain in my knees so that’s a big big deal.
Hey guys I’m Christo Garcia and I wanted to tell you about a recent experience I had because I’ve been having worse and worse knee trouble. I had a very high impact life when I was growing up doing martial arts, ballet, and all these other jumping things that I did that just really really wore out my knees. I started having really bad knee pain, especially when going up and down stairs.
I’m 55 years old now and it had gotten to the point where I actually had to do something about it. Now the good news is one of my golf student’s name is Dr. Marc Darrow and he runs the Joint Rehab and Sports Medical Center here in LA. Marc told me about a procedure he could do that can help heal my knees and it has to do with platelet rich plasma.
I’m waiting for the first doctor that is going to be meeting me because I have to draw blood today.
What they do is they take your own blood they spin it separate the white blood cells from the red blood cells and they re-inject the white blood cells into your trouble areas where you need tissue regeneration and I’ll be honest with you I was like “I’ll do anything” if it’ll help take this it worked like a charm.
I’m no longer experiencing that pain walking up and down stairs and my golf is so much better. I can actually crouch down again to read puts. This is something I could not do for a long time.
If you’re experiencing knee pain or joint pain and other areas, shoulders, elbows, even your spine give the folks at the Joint Rehab and Sports Medical Center a call. Dr. Darrow, Dr. Grove, they’ve been fantastic and I am telling you it really is a miracle how this is help me regain confidence and strength in my legs. To be live and play golf without paying is really a blessing.
