Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is a modern non-operative treatment solution that utilizes the body’s natural healing process to rebuild damaged tissue, heal injuries more effectively, and eliminate pain. Regenerative medicine targets the underlying source of pain without relying on medication or surgery, leading to increased function and mobility with a shorter recovery time than surgical options.
These safe and effective outpatient procedures are very effective for a variety of joint, tendon, ligament, and spinal conditions. We always use diagnostic ultrasound in the delivery for visualization and accurate placement of the regenerative treatment. In fact, a recent study stated that when diagnostic ultrasound is used it resulted in a 48% reduction in procedural pain, a 42% reduction in pain scores at outcome, 107% increase in the responder rate.

PRP Injections
A PRP injection is when PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is administered to the body via injection. PRP is a natural way to stimulate healing in the body. It has a localized effect, meaning it must be delivered to the area that has been injured or is experiencing chronic pain.
The key ingredient that makes PRP so effective are the platelets. Platelets play several important roles in your body. Most notably, they encourage new cells to grow while removing old, damaged cells from the site of an injury.
PRP lets us take control of your body’s healing processes, accelerating them and getting you back on your feet faster.
PRP treatment is quite possibly the safest form of intervention available. PRP is autologous, meaning it comes from your own body. There’s no need for donor material and the risks associated with receiving donated blood.
To produce PRP, all we do is extract a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm. From there, we spin it in a centrifuge, separating each component.

The machine then siphons off the platelets and some plasma. The process is repeated until the concentration of platelets reaches the target amount. This may vary from treatment to treatment. The whole production process takes about 15 minutes.
PRP injections are a great cure for chronic pain. Opioids and other pain relievers can have disastrous side effects. PRP, on the other hand, is entirely natural and encourages your body to heal you from within.
PRP treatments can produce results very quickly, but some cases may require multiple treatments. Especially when dealing with chronic problems, repeat visits are necessary. Regardless, we’ll always book a follow-up appointment to make sure that your injection is having the desired effects, and we can evaluate if further treatment is necessary.
