• Blunt trauma, injury, or fractures
• Degeneration of vertebrae due to aging
• Abnormal growth, bone spur

• Ligament or muscle tears
• Arthritis
• Protruding or herniated (slipped) disk and pinched nerve
• Osteoporosis and compression fractures

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

PRP uses patients own growth factor to heal and regenerate the problem areas by improving blood supply and triggering a healing cascade to proliferate and remodel the tendons and ligament to heal chronic pain

• Post injection the patient will experience 1-2 weeks of inflammation which is our goal so the body can trigger the healing process.
• At 2-8 weeks the area undergoes proliferation, which is like saying ‘the construction has started’ where activated fibroblasts are recruited to begin the formation of new blood vessels and provisional matrix
• And beyond six weeks is the remodeling phase during which the type 3 collagen will be replaced with type 1 collagen, essentially restoring the tissue to healthy function.

Platelet-rich plasma injection therapy makes it possible to heal painful musculoskeletal pain and injuries using the patient’s own blood.
