Stem Cell treatment

Does the VA use stem cell or platelet treatment?

Welcome to Hadit!

I did a quick search and found a couple of links showing the VA has looked into it. Of course, it could differ depending on the situation so it might be best to follow up with your VA doctor, if you have one, to inquire further.

Welcome aboard Jenniges  Hope you find what you need here and end up helping others thru sharing your experiences. Do your research but I also suggest that you work on developing a good relationship with your pcp at the VA, assuming you use the VA for health care. If you can get them to be in your side, they can really shorten the time it takes to get things done. It really helps to get an insider at the VA  on your side. Of course, easier said than done. Good luck!
