Correcting each one of them, hoping it will reduce the pain is fruitless.

Our country wasn’t the first to adopt PRP. Kobe Bryant had to run to Germany to get his first PRP treatment. And his success and his raving about his success contributed heavily to PRP’s skyrocketing popularity now. In fact, he’s the one who told Alex Rodriguez to get his PRP.

Not surprisingly, Platelet-Rich Plasma had a major role in that. (He had stem cells injection and then PRP)
