In this quick tip, Dr. Eric Phillips of RPI explains why pairing regenerative injections (pro therapy, PRP, stem cell injections) with dedicated physical therapy post-procedure leads to better outcomes.
Learn how to set realistic expectations for regenerative injections (PRP, stem cells) with practical pre- and post-procedure guidance. Four to seven days of recovery, pain management tips, and coordinated rehab.
Quick, practical tip you can use on your very next injection day: the humble skin-marking pen. When I’m planning prolotherapy or PRP, I always start with palpation. I mark bony landmarks and key reference points directly on the skin, then confirm and refine with ultrasound. That simple step does two things: it sharpens my targeting on screen and it improves the patient’s experience—because they can see the plan before we ever pick up a needle.
Ultrasound guidance can take injections from “good enough” to precise, safe, and reproducible—especially near small targets like nerves. This quick guide distills a stepwise approach you can apply immediately in clinic.
Depth is one of the first—and most important—settings to optimize when performing ultrasound-guided injections. Set it too shallow and you’ll lose critical lateral information; too deep and you sacrifice resolution. Here’s a simple, repeatable approach using the medial ankle (posterior tibial nerve at the medial malleolus) to get your depth right before you ever pick up a needle.
Great procedures start with great conversations. When knee pain patients arrive already “pre-sold” by a friend’s success, your job is to connect clear diagnostics with an ethical, evidence-based plan they understand—and can act on. Here’s a fast, reproducible flow you can use at the end of your visit to align expectations, reduce fear, and map next steps.
