Having a PRP and hyaluronic acid injection has given me near immediate pain relief and given me back my life. I can function again. I can go up and down stairs without pain or holding onto railings or bannisters for the first time in years. I can look after my 4 grandchildren without daily pain and I can do activities with them that I couldn’t do before. This is fantastic. Thank you Dr Porter and the team at Opus!
