Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilizes platelets derived from a patient’s own blood to facilitate the body’s natural healing process and support joint health.
What is PRP?
Although blood is mainly a liquid (called plasma), it also contains small solid components (red cells, white cells, and platelets). The platelets are best known for their importance in clotting blood. However, platelets also contain hundreds of components that are very important in maintaining healthy joints, in the healing of injuries and in halting the degenerative process of osteoarthritis.
PRP is plasma with many more platelets than what is typically found in blood. The concentration of platelets can be 5 to 10 times greater (or richer) than usual.
How Does PRP Work?
To develop a PRP preparation, blood must first be drawn from a patient. The platelets are separated from other blood cells and their concentration is increased by spinning the blood down during a process called centrifugation. These platelets are then injected into the injured site.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
BMAC harnesses a blend of specialized cells from your bone marrow to accelerate healing by leveraging the body’s innate repair mechanisms, while M-Fat utilizes regenerative cells to reduce pain, inflammation, repair cartilage and soft tissue injuries, and expedite recovery for an active lifestyle.
What is Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Treatment?
BMAC is a concentrate of precursor osteogenic cells, hematopoietic stem cells, platelets, WBCs (white blood cells) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from your own bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue that is found in the center of bones, including your hip or pelvic bone.
Bone marrow is the section of the body where blood is generated. The stem cells from BMAC are specialized cells that are known to replicate themselves into various types of tissues and help to speed up the healing process by boosting the body’s natural healing abilities and promote tissue growth.
What is Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (M-Fat) Treatment?
Microfragmented adipose tissue is used to provide cushion and support to help the natural healing process by supporting the repair, replacement, reconstruction of damaged or injured tissue.
- Reducing pain
- Decreasing inflammation
- Helping repair cartilage and soft tissue injuries
- Improving healing and facilitating a prompt return to active lifestyle and sport activities
Non-Surgical Injections
Injection therapy encompasses a range of treatments tailored to provide relief and support for joint health and muscle tension, serving as alternatives to surgery for joint issues and muscle-related discomfort.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections are designed to improve joint lubrication and cushioning, providing relief for conditions like osteoarthritis. They supplement the natural synovial fluid in the joints, aiding in smoother movement and reduced pain.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger Point Injections target specific areas of muscle pain and tension with localized injections of medication, such as anesthetics or steroids, to deactivate trigger points, alleviate discomfort, and promote muscle relaxation, offering relief for individuals experiencing muscle-related issues or chronic pain.
