After suffering from chronic pain that consistently ranks between 7 out of 10 and 9 out of 10, seeing medication reach its target in real-time thanks to ultrasound guidance gives Heather Donahue hope and the confidence to completely trust that Dr. David Rosenblum will ultimately find the right solution to mitigate her pain.
We met Heather during a visit to Dr. Rosenblum’s office at the AABP Integrative Pain Care, Maimonides Medical Center in New York where we were able to record her first ultrasound-guided PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection.
I think his success rate is extremely high because he’s using the ultrasound and he can see exactly where he’s injecting and where he’s putting the needle, so he’s not going in blind. You can see it,” Heather explains. “I’ve read the studies on PRP and the success rate looks pretty good,” she says. “70% of patients have a significant reduction in pain that lasts for months. I’m hopeful that I’ll feel better with Dr. Rosenblum’s injection within a month or two.”
