— YOUR REGENERATIVE JOURNEY CAN BEGIN
From issues like tendonitis to arthritis, there are many conditions that are notoriously challenging to treat through standard therapies. To address these and other concerns, the medical community has recently begun leveraging powerful resources found within patients themselves: plasma. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance featuring concentrated platelets and proteins which are derived from whole blood.
Our blood naturally contains plasma, a liquid with platelets, which contain growth factors to help support cellular development and healing. When the platelets are isolated and their concentration is increased, their growth factors are amplified by five to ten times. This concentrated solution holds tremendous potential for promoting healing across a range of conditions.
Musculoskeletal injuries are among the most common culprits behind persistent discomfort. These, along with chronic conditions such as arthritis, are well-suited for PRP Therapy. Such conditions don’t always respond well to traditional treatments but continue to produce frustrating symptoms for those who experience them. PRP injections are thus a promising minimally invasive solution to help patients improve their quality of life.
PRP therapy is often a successful treatment to help those experiencing symptoms of arthritis and soft tissue injury. However, depending on the severity of the condition, PRP may not be enough. In these cases, Stem Cells, Exosomes, or a combination of both therapies may be the next step needed to potentially help eliminate pain as well as initiate tissue regeneration and strength to the targeted areas.
Studies have shown the following potential symptom improvements:
Decrease or Elimination of Pain
Reduction of Medication Intake
Promotes Faster Rate of Healing
Slower or Stopped Rate of Cartilage Destruction
Supports Long Term Healing
Stimulates Cell Growth and Cell Repair at Injury site
Safe and Low Risk Procedure
Regenerative Medicine is still considered an experimental procedure and not approved by the FDA. Patients must consider realistic expectations in their research and possible therapy options.
