Question PRP knee injections

Anybody here get the PRP (platelet rich plasma) knee injections? I got 2 in my left knee and they did wonders. Right knee is going now and I can’t get the injections in Lethbridge anymore. I’m looking for recommendations in southern Alberta now.

I’ve heard the cost has increased quite a bit but they did work.

Thanks

While you are waiting for more recent information, check out this older thread (2017 to 2021) on Regenerative Stem Cell and PRP treatments:

Good Luck!

Yes you need a doctors referral and X-rays which I have. Down here they charge $600 per and there’s no coverage for it. I’m hearing good things about the sports clinic at COP. Anyone here go there?
