š©ŗ Straight from the Desk of our Medical Doctor, Dr. Juan Blanch:
Most doctors will point to your X-ray and say š āYour joint space is narrow because your cartilage is ruined.ā
ā Thatās partly trueā¦ but the real problem starts in the bone.
Hereās the inside scoop:
š¹ When cartilage gets sick, the bone underneath forms a callus.
š¹ Cartilage has no blood vesselsāit survives only by oxygen coming through the bone.
š¹ Eventually, the bone āgives upā and sacrifices the cartilage to protect itself.
ā ļø Thatās why cartilage transplants never worked.
ā ļø Thatās why you feel paināyour dying cartilage is screaming!
This process is called osteosclerosisāthe bone protecting itself at the expense of cartilage.
š” But thereās GOOD news:
šāāļø Staying active helps keep your bone from giving up on cartilage.
š High-volume PRP (30mL+ blood draw) can actually change the entire biology of the jointāhelping BOTH the bone and the cartilage heal.
And itās not just for knees ā”ļø PRP can help with arthritis in the neck, back, shoulders, and more!
āØ A powerful, natural way to fight arthritis and joint pain at the source.
