Cartilage Displaced From Joint. History Of Seizures. Where Can I Find A Doctor Who Uses Rich Platelet Injections To Regenerate Cartilage?

I had a grand mal seizure a year ago and when I hit my jaw on my desk it turns out the cartilage was displaced from the joint . I have a retainer from the dentist but I need to get the cartilage in the joint again. Is there an orthopedic doctor in northern va that uses prolotherapy or rich platelet injections to regenerate cartilage?

hi,

I would encourage you to seek orthodox methods to treat your symptoms. there is no good scientific evidence that prolotherapy works. in fact there is no proven method currently of regenerating damaged articular cartilage.

best wishes
