Celebrity doctor Dr. Mark Edmon Tan is unable to alleviate toothaches and heartaches. However, if you are suffering from arthritis, degenerative joints, or ligament pain due to overuse in your knees, joints, or back, you can seek assistance from HealthCube Clinics.

Doc Mark has treated numerous celebrities from Piolo Pascual to Edu Manzano, Tirso Cruz III, Lorna Tolentino, Rica Peralejo, and Julia Montes. 

I recently visited him due to chronic back pain I developed from a bad fall in the gym. He said that due to the trauma of my fall, my muscles inflamed, hitting my cluneal nerve, which is the cause of most back pain, and the best treatment was PRP injections. 

Doc Mark explained how this alternative treatment works in relieving back pain and arthritis pain all over the body. “PRP injections stands for Platelet-rich plasma, which is a simple one-hour procedure that helps to enhance the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. We start with the collection of whole blood samples from you Giselle. Your blood sample is then mixed with an anticoagulant factor we imported from Switzerland through Spectrum Med Inc. and run in a centrifuge machine. The centrifuge separates the red blood cells from platelet-rich plasma. The platelet-rich plasma will be directly injected into your injury sites or activated with a platelet activator to speed up the healing process. Activation immediately de-granulates the platelets and triggers the release of growth factors, stem cells, and bioactive substances involved in regenerative tissue healing. Once the platelets have been activated, they help support cell growth and repair.” 

I had this PRP injection in my sciatica three years ago, and my sciatica pain never went back. He took a look at my sacroiliac joints, and he said the ligaments were bright again, and my PRP injections worked. 

Piolo had the same procedure in his arms and shoulders. Before me, a 92-year-old lady came out happy with her procedure on the knees. She hopes to walk in six weeks without pain, which means no more wheelchairs for her.
