PRP is natural since it is a product of your own body and excellent for non-surgical pain relief.
PRP was first utilized in the 1970s in open-heart surgery and since has been pioneered for wound healing and pain relief.
Professional athletes like Tiger woods, Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriquez, and Hines Ward, to name a few, have received PRP therapy with success.
PRP uses the power of your body’s own platelets to alleviate pain and heal damaged areas. The platelets recruit growth factors which decrease inflammation and allow growth for new tissue and blood vessels.
This is particularly useful for patients with "bone-on-bone” arthritis, those seeking alternatives to surgery, and for patients with persistent pain decreasing their quality of life.
Individuals who are candidates for PRP for pain tend to be long distance runners, construction workers, sport players, or those involved in accidents. PRP is a safe treatment for individuals with pain.
Our therapy decreases pain on average by 50% in 1 month just with PRP alone and using our integrative model, pain reduction is achieved by 60-70% from baseline.
Our goal is to improve your functional status and improve your quality of life.
Our technique involves the use of Ultrasound for precise identification of the painful area for targeted healing.
