Getting older is hard, especially if you have worked out your entire life, and end up with a torn hamstring and damaged achilles tendons (bilateral) at 60 years of age. I went through many different therapies, including myofascial release, PT, massage, resting and acupuncture. Nothing worked. I finally turned to Dr Silva for PRP and stem cell therapy and have seen great results over the course of the treatment.I had PRP and stem cell for my hamstring last year, which restored it to around 80% functionality. As I had stem cell therapy for both achilles tendons planned for this year, I decided to also add some to my hamstring, in order to achieve full functionality. It’s been 10 weeks since the injections and everything is healing well. I am no longer limping and the pain in my achilles has become milder. I know from experience it will take around 6 months for the full effects of the treatment to take place, and I am hopeful for a full recovery.I want to stay healthy and fit for the rest of my life and firmly believe that regenerative practices such as PRP and stem cell therapy are the way that I will achieve this. I trust Dr Silva’s knowledge and expertise in this field totally, having experienced the results first hand, and cannot recommend him highly enough.
