Features Overview
Remarkable results have come from PRP injections as well as stem cell therapy. Common injuries or conditions that are often improved with these treatments include:
Tendonitis
Osteoarthritis
Arthritic joints
Overuse injuries
Inflammation from herniated disc
Feature We often hear PRP injections and stem cell treatment grouped together. For PRP injections, a physician uses the patient’s own blood to separate platelets in a centrifuge. The platelets are then re-injected into the injured area, releasing growth factors that promote natural tissue healing.
Stem cell therapy is a completely different process of extracting rejuvenating cells. For the procedure, stem cells from fat tissue used in conjunction with platelets. Stem cells from fat tissue are utilized with platelets to heal an osteoarthritic joint, for example, to repair cartilage and decrease inflammation.
