Why Utilize Regenerative Medicine in a Pain Practice? My Recent ASIPP Regen Med Lecture

Dr. Rosenblum from NRAP Academy presented a webinar on the integration of regenerative medicine into pain practices, highlighting its benefits and applications. He discussed the evolution of treating pain, emphasizing the shift from neural blockade to addressing tissue health. Dave explained the use of PRP and BMAC in treating conditions like knee pain, and shared patient success stories. He addressed common misconceptions about regenerative medicine, including its cost and effectiveness. Dave also mentioned upcoming events and training opportunities in regenerative medicine. Regenerative Medicine Pain Management Events Dr. Rosenblum announced his upcoming involvement in two significant events: a webinar on regenerative medicine for ASIPP and co-directing the ASPN Ultrasound and Regenerative Medicine Pain Workshop in Miami with Dr. Ali Valimoed. He encouraged attendees to register for these events, emphasizing their importance in the field of pain management. He also mentioned a previous lecture he gave on the integration of regenerative medicine into pain practices, though the recording was not successful. Regenerative Medicine in Pain Practices Dr. Rosenblum discussed the integration of regenerative medicine into pain practices, emphasizing its importance in 2026 and beyond. He explained that traditional approaches like steroids and RFA only manage pain without addressing tissue health, using the knee as an example. He suggested combining visco supplements with regenerative techniques like PRP or BMAC to preserve joints in patients seeking alternatives to knee replacement. He noted that while other stem cell products are promising, more research is needed for wider adoption, and he plans to focus on PRP and BMAC for now. Regenerative Medicine Patient Education Dr. Rosenblum discussed the importance of educating patients about regenerative medicine and pain treatment options. He explained that while regenerative treatments cannot fully reverse severe issues like meniscus damage, they can help heal and repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve function. He highlighted the growing demand for non-surgical, opiate-sparing solutions and mentioned the role of government and physician-led campaigns in addressing the opiate crisis. PRP's Role in Chronic Pain Management Dr. Rosenblum discussed the growing demand for alternative treatments to opioids and surgeries, highlighting the role of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in addressing chronic pain by modulating inflammation and stimulating tissue repair. He emphasized the importance of using high-quality PRP preparation methods, such as a double-spin kit, to achieve optimal results, and criticized studies claiming PRP's ineffectiveness, often due to poor preparation techniques. David also noted that effective PRP treatments can improve pain and function better than corticosteroids, and he expressed hope that patients would refer others, leading to business growth. PRP Therapy: A Promising Alternative Dr. Rosenblum discussed the effectiveness of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy compared to steroids and viscosupplements in treating various musculoskeletal conditions. He cited a meta-analysis showing that PRP provided better relief than steroid and viscosupplement treatments for patients with moderate arthritis after one year. David also shared a recent case where he used PRP to treat coccydynia, a condition involving pain in the coccyx, and mentioned its potential use in treating other conditions such as radiculopathy and foraminal stenosis. PRP Injection Treatment Flexibility Dr. Rosenblum discussed a medical procedure involving PRP and lidocaine injections in various areas of the body, including the coccygeal ligaments, caudal space, and transforaminal spaces, to address pain and inflammation. He emphasized the importance of tailoring treatment to individual patients rather than adhering to insurance company guidelines, which can limit the number of injections given in a single session. David highlighted that when patients pay out-of-pocket, practitioners have more flexibility to effectively treat their conditions, potentially avoiding surgery or improving post-surgical outcomes. PRP in Orthopedic Practice Dr. Rosenblum shared his experience treating a patient with PRP for post-operative knee surgery, despite the orthopedic surgeon's skepticism. He discussed how regenerative medicine can enhance a practice by positioning it as innovative and attracting younger patients who prefer non-surgical treatments. David noted that while some orthopedic surgeons may refer patients for PRP, others might be hesitant due to potential decreases in surgical procedures. He also mentioned that primary care doctors may not be aware of the growing evidence supporting PRP's effectiveness and safety. PRP: A Cost-Effective Alternative Dr. Rosenblum discussed regenerative medicine, particularly PRP, highlighting its potential to avoid surgeries and improve patient satisfaction with an estimated 70% success rate. He emphasized the financial benefits for physicians, as it provides a cash stream with no need for prior authorizations or denials. David also addressed patient responsibility in healthcare costs, comparing the cost of regenerative treatments to other lifestyle expenses. He noted that while training is necessary, most interventional pain physicians possess the skills to administer PRP treatments. PRP Treatment Success Stories Dr. Rosenblum shared patient testimonials highlighting successful outcomes from PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments for various pain conditions, including shoulder, back, and neck issues. Patients reported significant improvements in pain relief and mobility, with some noting long-lasting effects beyond cortisone shots or surgery. David emphasized the importance of individualized treatment approaches and quality care, encouraging both patients and physicians to reach out for training and consultations. He concluded by inviting listeners to share the content with colleagues and patients, emphasizing the value of PRP treatments when done correctly.

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Super Bowl champion Bryant McKinnie joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper. McKinnie shares how he didn’t even start playing football until high school, his unlikely journey through junior college to the University of Miami, and why he believes the 2001 Hurricanes are the greatest college team of all time. He reflects on being a top 10 Heisman finalist, battling elite pass rushers like Dwight Freeney, and the elation of winning Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens. Beyond football, Bryant opens up about his thriving second act — from serving as COO of a language translation company, to his three Grammy nominations, producing, and performing on America’s Got Talent. He also discusses his work in mental health advocacy, helping former players transition, and creating spaces for honest conversations through his Cocktails & Conversations events. From tennis lessons with Venus Williams to bringing the “B-Mac experience” wherever he goes, this episode is full of laughs, insight, and inspiration from one of the NFL’s most unique personalities. The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
