Dr. Rosenblum addresses 2 Studies on this Pain Management Journal Club Podcast

The Treatment of Bone Marrow Lesions Associated with Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis: Comparing Intraosseous and Intraarticular Injections with Bone Marrow Concentrate and Platelet Products

Article 2:

Autologous US-guided PRP injection versus US-guided focal extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic lateral epicondylitis: Aminimum of 2-year follow-up retrospective comparative study

Editorial: 

Dr. Rosenblum poses some important questions:

Why are regenerative therapies not covered?  Why is CMS limiting trigger point injections and not paying for certain peripheral nerve blocks? Who is making the decision? Do lobbying groups or big pharma have a role?
