PRP in the Epidural Space for Radiculopathy Brooklyn Based Pain Physician, David Rosenblum, MD known for his work publishing and teaching Regenerative Pain Medicine and Ultrasound Guided Pain Procedures hosts this podcast covering the latest and most advanced concepts in Pain Medicine. Summary Dr. David Rosenblum delivered a comprehensive lecture covering several key topics in pain management. He discussed his upcoming speaking engagements at PainWeek, ASPN and great upcoming meetings like the Latin American Pain Society, and other conferences. Dr. Rosenblum shared his extensive experience with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) epidural injections, reviewing multiple research studies that support their efficacy. He highlighted three significant studies: a randomized control trial comparing PRP epidural injections to traditional treatments, a CT-guided epidural PRP study, and a 2025 meta-analysis comparing PRP to steroids. Dr. Rosenblum emphasized that PRP treatments are showing comparable or better results than traditional steroid injections, with potentially fewer required treatments and longer-lasting relief. He noted that while PRP is currently not covered by insurance, it represents a growing trend in 'natural' treatment approaches that patients increasingly prefer. Chapters Introduction and Upcoming Events Dr. Rosenblum announced his upcoming lectures at Pain Week focusing on ultrasound and regenerative medicine, followed by presentations at the Latin American Pain Society in Chile and the New York, New Jersey Pain Conference. He mentioned the SoMeDocs online pain conference accessible through nrappain.org, and upcoming ultrasound training sessions in New York City. PRP Epidural Research Review Dr. Rosenblum discussed a randomized control trial involving 30 patients receiving transforaminal epidural injections. The study showed that PRP patients demonstrated significant improvements in leg pain scores at 6, 12, and 24 weeks. He noted that while the study didn't use contrast, he personally prefers using contrast diluted with saline for better visualization. CT-Guided Epidural Study Analysis Dr. Rosenblum reviewed a study comparing CT-guided epidural PRP versus steroid injections, questioning the necessity of CT guidance. The study included 60 patients and showed similar results between PRP and steroid groups at six weeks, though he criticized the short follow-up period, noting that PRP typically takes months to show full effects. Meta-Analysis Discussion Dr. Rosenblum presented a 2025 meta-analysis comparing PRP to steroids in epidural injections. The analysis included 310 patients across five RCTs, demonstrating comparable efficacy between PRP and steroid injections without increased adverse events. He emphasized that his clinical experience shows patients typically require fewer PRP injections compared to steroid treatments.

In the US, an estimated 70-75% of women who give birth use an epidural for pain relief during labor. Epidural anesthesia during labor can affect bladder function by delaying the return of bladder sensation and potentially leading to urinary retention. This can be due to the nerves that control bladder function being affected by the epidural, reducing the sensation of bladder fullness and the urge to urinate. Intrapartum, there is no universal guidance regarding bladder management with labor epidural analgesia (LEA). Does one method of bladder care intrapartum affect mode of delivery more than the other? Is it better to have an indwelling catheter or to perform intermittent caths. What about patient self-voiding with a bedpan. Let's summarize the data.
Please note that this episode includes discussions of domestic violence and suicidal thoughts. Listener discretion is advised. If these topics are distressing for you, you may wish to skip this episode or listen with support. Relevant Aotearoa/NZ helplines are accessible at the bottom of these show notes.Naomi's story is a troubling, heart-wrenching listen. She bravely lets us in on the abuse and trauma she endured as a young first-time mum in a violent relationship with a manipulative man who would later become her husband. Together they had two more children, both healing home births, but the domestic abuse continued.One day, whilst working a shift as a midwife, Naomi spotted a brochure that stated, “family violence changes the brains of our children.” This realisation was the final straw for Naomi. She knew she needed to protect her babies from growing up in this abusive household, and she left their dad for the final time. He still had contact with the children, though no formal parental agreement was instated. Fuelled by anger and jealousy, when he discovered Naomi had met a new man, he took the children and told her she wouldn't be getting them back. The police could do nothing. Naomi desperately tried to get her children safely back into her care. But after many months of battling the system, and despite a clear history of abuse, including multiple protection orders, Naomi ultimately lost custody of her children to her violent ex. She was utterly powerless to protect her babies, something that nearly killed her.Find out how Naomi not only found the will to live, but went on to have another baby to a beautiful man, and now works to help heal the hearts of other wounded mothers. Her story is both deeply disturbing and profoundly inspiring.Also discussed in this episode:* contemplating abortion* protection orders for physical and psychological violence* pressured into medical pain relief - Pethidine & Epidural* lack of bond with newborn* Raynaud's Syndrome (breastfeeding)* pressured to give formula to baby* Postnatal depression & anxiety* Maternal Mental Health support - Aropax* CBT* Nursing & midwifery training* Siblings at birth* Gambling addiction* Court appointed psychologist (bias towards father)* contemplating suicide* Mama's Tribe * Healing Birth Practitioner Training* 42 week pregnancy* PROM & meconium stained waters* Syntocinon* healing & empowering cesarean* Wise Women Network NZ* sleep consultancy - responsive settling* postpartum sleep deprivationAotearoa/NZ HelplinesLifeline - 0800 543 354 or free text HELP to 4357Women's Refuge 24/7 Crisis Line - 0800 REFUGE (0800 733 843)Shine (DV support) - 0508 744 6331737 - Need to talk?

We bring back one of our favorite guests, Dr. Bernardini to talk about multiple dramatic injuries in the last two weeks including a gruesome both bone forearm fracture for a top prospect rookie for the Reds, Tyler Callihan.

We discuss Derek Carr and why he is choosing to retire as well as some other major injuries!
In today's episode we're hearing from Louise about the birth of her son Rex. She shares her experience of miscarriage; how that changed her perception of pregnancy and how she used keeping busy as a coping mechanism. At 39 weeks a scan suggested she was carrying a big baby so she decided to accept an induction which lead to uterine hyperstimulation and after a long and exhausting labour her baby was born with the assistance of forceps. Louise talks about her very difficult postpartum experience; a bad case of mastitis which lead to being hospitalised with sepsis, and the postnatal depression and post traumatic stress disorder which ensued.

Send us a textToday we interviewed Cally, who shared her experiences across two very different births. Her first pregnancy took place during COVID, where limited access to care led her to an OB by default. Red flags emerged throughout the pregnancy, but she continued with the same provider. After a long posterior labour that ended in an epidural and Syntocinon, she began to reflect more deeply on her birth choices.We also spoke about her breastfeeding journey—navigating early challenges, pumping and bottle-feeding for nearly two years—and her experience with a medically managed miscarriage, which she approached with intention and care.In her third pregnancy, Cally initially returned to her OB but switched to a private midwife at 26 weeks after feeling unsupported in her birth preferences. She went on to plan a homebirth that honoured her values and autonomy. When a postpartum hemorrhage occurred, it was swiftly and effectively managed by her midwifery team at home—including resuscitation—demonstrating the high level of skill and preparedness within well-supported homebirth care.Links:Mama Midwives Core & Floor Restore Free Antenatal ClassesThe Pink Elephant Support Network Red Nose Info on APGAR Score Ten years of publicly funded homebirth services in Victoria Mothers & Babies Report - APGAR dataNational Core Maternity Indicators - APGARWhat is Medical management of miscarriage Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

Send us a textIn this episode of our mini-series on homebirth transfer, we share the story of Tiahn, a mother who, inspired by the documentary Birth Time, knew that homebirth was the path for her. As she approached 42 + weeks, concerns about potential pre-eclampsia arose, but she made the choice to decline induction and continue her pregnancy.Throughout her journey, Tiahn faced significant pressure from friends and family, especially towards the end of her pregnancy and even during labour. Despite this, she stayed firm in her decision to follow her instincts and birth her baby on her own terms. After a long labour at home, she opted to transfer to the hospital. During labour, she chose to rest with an epidural, but complications soon emerged when her baby's heart rate dropped and meconium was found in the waters after an artificial rupture of membranes. A caesarean was quickly recommended.Links:Birth Time DocoSpinning Babies Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

The Evidence Based Chiropractor- Chiropractic Marketing and Research
Today, we delve into a compelling, systematic review that tackles the effectiveness of epidural steroid injections for conditions like cervical and lumbar radiculopathy and spinal stenosis. If you're a chiropractor, this is an essential listen as we unpack whether these injections truly offer relief, examining both short—and long-term outcomes. We'll explore the study conducted by the American Academy of Neurology, which scrutinized 90 randomized control trials, and discuss their findings on pain reduction and disability alleviation provided by these injections.Episode Notes: Epidural Steroids for Cervical and Lumbar Radicular Pain and Spinal Stenosis Systematic Review SummaryThe Best Objective Assessment of the Cervical Spine- Provide reliable assessments and exercises for Neuromuscular Control, Proprioception, Range of Motion, and Sensorimotor-Integration.

At 55 years old, Joey was living with 7 herniated discs and had been in chronic pain for almost 20 years. He suffered from:✅ L5-S1, L4-L5, L3-L4, L2-L3, L1-L2 (ALL 5 lumbar discs herniated!)✅ T12-L1, T11-T12 (thoracic-lumbar herniations)His pain first started in 2007, when a debilitating back spasm left him stuck on the ground, unable to move.For nearly two decades after, he dealt with severe back pain and sciatica flare-ups every 6-7 months. He tried everything to get better:❌ Epidural injections – only temporary relief❌ Physical therapy – generic exercises, no lasting change❌ Decompression therapy – expensive and ineffective❌ Inversion tables & back braces – no long-term results❌ Surgery consultations – told he'd be in and out of the hospital for lifeWith nothing working, Joey assumed this was just his reality—until he took a chance on the Whealth Limitless Program.How Whealth Limitless Changed EverythingAt first, Joey was skeptical (like most of our members) —he had already tried so much without success.But within just a few weeks, he started feeling a difference.And in a few months, he was completely pain-free for the first time in over a decade. Now, he's:✅ Back to playing golf after 14 YEARS away from the sport✅ Running his landscaping business PAIN-FREE✅ Waking up without thinking about his back pain✅ Living life without fear of flare-upsJoey is proof that you CAN heal—even with multiple herniations and decades of pain.

Robyn describes her first birth as a ‘weird, numb experience.' She was in the hospital, on an epidural, and slept through most of it. However, a family car accident became a turning point for Robyn, prompting her to make holistic health changes for her family. As she began to explore ways to take charge of their healthcare more naturally, her perspective on birth shifted. By the time she was pregnant with her second child, she knew she would give birth at home, with a midwife. (In fact, the midwife she chose had been a former guest on this show!) For her third birth, Robyn chose to give birth at home, unassisted. In reflecting on her birth experiences, Robyn shared with me: ‘I want to address the idea that a midwife or doula will save you during labor or birth, or somehow prepare you better than you can prepare yourself for birth. Instead, birth should be viewed as an opportunity to fully surrender and trust yourself.' If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

HeHe shares 6 things she would absolutely do if she was getting an epidural in labor! These are not the traditional things like 'keep moving,' rather she is sharing exact conversations to have with your provider to make sure your epidural gives you the pain relief you're trying to achieve and what to do if you're epidural is too heavy (which may lead to longer pushing time and increased tearing!).

Send us a textToday, we're joined by Ellen, a mum of two, who shares the story of her evolving birth journey. Her first experience was in the MGP program at her local hospital. After experiencing reduced fetal movement, Ellen was advised to have an induction. The induction led to complications: a fever, blood in her urine, and an accelerated heart rate for her baby, culminating in an unexpected caesarean. Ellen felt a deep sense of disappointment with her first birth experience.Determined to approach her second birth differently, Ellen took the time to educate herself, preparing for a more empowered experience. She chose a homebirth (HBAC) and found the difference to be profound. She was more present, more aware, and felt a deeper sense of control over her body and the process. Ellen reflects on how natural contractions were far more manageable than the synthetic ones from her induction. She also shares the intense afterbirth pains she experienced—pain so severe it caused her to vomit—but despite this, she felt an overwhelming sense of peace and empowerment.Ellen's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-advocacy, birth education, and trusting your instincts to shape the birth experience that's right for you.Links:The Great Birth Rebellion - Episode 86 - Internal Release Work with Fiona Hallinan.Birth After Caesarean - Hazel Keedle Mothers & Babies Report 2022Maternal and perinatal outcomes by planned place of birth in Australia 2000-2012: a linked population data study.

Hoy vas a conocer el relato de parto de Julia Crespillo, de Catellón, que nos cuenta sus dos experiencias. Julia dice que se le quedó una espinita después del primero porque llevaba demasiada epidural y no notó nada. No estaba segura si aguantaría el parto sin epidural, hasta que parió por segunda vez. Sabía que era posible, pero vivirlo ella misma le pareció flipante. Espero que disfrutes este episodio tanto como yo... ¡clica PLAY y empezamos! ************************ Por petición popular, por fin me he decidido a grabar mis propios relatos de parto - y me hace mucha ilusión compartirlos contigo, porque además vendrá con una invitación especial.

In part 2 , I'm taking you back to my waters breaking (again?!) on New Year's Eve, I was told to stay in the hospital bed, Pitocin was pushed at shift change, and—something I've never shared before—I was talked into fentanyl (spoiler: there's a good learning point here). Add in a cervical lip being manually pushed back, and coached pushing so intense I popped every blood vessel in my face... and it's the "perfect" no-epidural hospital birth. __ Have a better hospital birth, join us inside of Unmedicated Academy ⬇️ unmedicatedgirlies.com OR DM me "enroll" on Instagram
Our beloved in house pelvic floor physical therapist, Hayley Kava, shares how her first birth experience inspired her career path. Her journey began with a hospital birth that she found to be less than positive, leading her to seek a more empowering experience the next time. Her second birth, also in a hospital, turned out to be a much more positive and fulfilling experience, but left a little to be desired when it came to immediate postpartum care. Finally, her third birth took an unexpected turn—an unplanned unassisted home birth after a precipitous labor! Despite having a midwife, the baby arrived before they could get there.

AKA the ONLY thing unmedicated about it was that I didn't have an epidural. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my first birth experience and sharing the details of what I used to call an “unmedicated” birth. Spoiler alert: while I didn't have an epidural, my birth was still FULL of interventions. I'll also share how this birth taught me valuable lessons and set the stage for my journey into birth work. Whether you're planning your own birth or just love a good story, tune in to hear the truth about hospital births, interventions, and what I wish I'd known back then. _
