In this special on-site episode of the Bendy Bodies podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, sits down face to face with Dr. John Pitts! Dr. Pitts, is an expert in regenerative medicine, about cutting-edge treatments for hypermobility and chronic pain. Dr. Pitts discusses prolotherapy, protein rich plasma (PRP), and "stem cell" therapies and explains how these treatments can heal tissues and improve function without surgery. He shares insights on treating conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), and joint instability, focusing on helping the body heal itself. Whether you’re dealing with nagging pain or seeking alternatives to surgery, this episode offers hope and practical solutions. Takeaways: Regenerative Medicine: Prolotherapy, PRP, and "stem cells" can help heal tissues and reduce pain by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Early Treatment: Early intervention in hypermobile joints can prevent long-term damage and the need for surgery. Safer Alternatives to Surgery: Injection-based treatments offer a less invasive and safer alternative to orthopedic surgery. PRP and Stem Cell Evidence: These treatments have been shown to improve outcomes for knee arthritis and other musculoskeletal issues. Tailored Approaches for EDS Patients: Patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome may respond better to prolotherapy and require different treatment approaches compared to non-EDS patients.
