It has come to my attention recently that there is an excellent and safe means of healing and relief for those with severe Back, Hip, and Knee pain (in particular) which is called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). PRP used your own blood plasma to bring healing to areas where arthritis, injuries, etc. have caused debilitating pain. Those who once volunteered in schools and other civic service areas are often reduced to being homebound in many cases because of the pain.
There have been much research and studies of which I am happy to give you a list as you request. Please give this vital and much less expensive means of escape from pain to millions of Americans. Medicare spent over 8.6 Billion Dollars last year alone on X-rays, hip and knee surgeries, Physical Therapy, and Cortisone shots which could have been possibly avoided by millions of Americans if they had had coverage for the PRP injections. There are many dangerous side-effects and complications associated with some of these methods of treatment, whereas the PRP treatment has proved to have very little change of any serious issues from its use.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding this much needed asset especially for our Senior Citizens.

We the undersigned, call on Medicare to immediately cover the use of PRP injections for those in need of healing rather than 'bandages' for their severe back, hip, and knee pain over a period of time. In the several Randomized Controlled Trials research studies done since 2004, this procedure has proved itself to be the most effective method for healing and return to good health for folks suffering for so long. The government must not withhold this needed treatment from folks who cannot often fight for themselves for this help.
Thank you for your time and attention to this greatly needed procedure in our country.
