Platelet-rich plasma (PRP} is a regenerative medicine treatment that utilizes the components of the body's own cells to help reduce pain and to promote healing. PRP is obtained from the patient through a blood draw. It is then put into a centrifuge that will separate the platelet-rich part of the blood. The platelets which contain the healing growth factors will then be injected back into the patient. This could be into a tendon, joint or a ligament. The PRP contains natural growth factors that aid in the healing process. This particular option has become more popular among the sports medicine and orthopedic physicians avoiding major surgeries and hospitalizations. This Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy procedure is performed in the office.

Stem cell therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that utilizes the patient's stem cells from bone marrow or amniotic fluid stem cells to help relieve pain and to increase the healing process. This type of treatment has been recognized by the medical community as one of the major accomplishments in the natural healing process.

This is involves extracting stem cells from the patient's bone marrow or fresh cryopreserved amniotic fluid stem cells and injecting the stem cells into areas where the tissue is damaged. The body will naturally use these stem cells to heal the injury and to help promote rebuilding joints which have been affected with degenerative joint disease (DJD}. The procedure helps to generate new healthy tissue and promotes the healing process.

We use stem cells derived from amniotic fluid. This is the best source of growth factors. This product is shipped directly to our office cryopreserved. This cryopreservation guarantees the highest potential for live (viable} cells with growth factors promoting the best healing.

This procedure is done in our office using local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance to make sure the patient is comfortable and the procedure is done accurately.
