Does PRP Actually Work for Hamstring Strains?

Hamstring strains are incredibly frustrating. You get an athlete feeling great, they go for a sprint, and the muscle grabs again. We have all been there. It is the most common time-loss injury we see in running and field sports. For years, sports medicine professionals have debated whether biologics actually speed up recovery. Some studies show great results. Other studies suggest they are a waste of money. The conflicting data makes it hard to give our athletes a straight answer when they ask if an injection will get them back on the field faster. A recent randomized controlled trial finally standardizes the protocol to give us better clarity. The researchers looked specifically at grade 2 tears and used ultrasound-guided injections alongside a traditional rehabilitation program. The results completely change how we should view biological adjuncts in muscle rehab. Listen to this week's podcast episode to hear a full breakdown of the study. We discuss exactly how much time these injections can shave off a recovery timeline and how you can apply these findings to the athletes you treat.
