Orthopedic Applications

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) musculoskeletal injuries are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability. Soft tissue injuries including tendon and ligament trauma accounts for 45% of all musculoskeletal injuries in the USA.

Several clinical studies agree that Platelet Rich Plasma has been shown to be safe and effective in treating the following common conditions:

Osteoarthritis: Knee, Shoulder, Hip & Spine
Rotator Cuff Strains & Tears
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Pelvic Pain & Instability
Back & Neck Injuries / Pain
Tennis Elbow
Tendonitis & Ligament Sprains
Chronic Knee Pain
Muscle Strains

The procedure is less aggressive and less expensive than surgery. It will heal tissue with minimal or no scarring, and alleviates further degeneration of the tissues. No ill effects have been reported in any of the many studies executed. This process uses the patient’s own blood thereby eliminating any chance of rejection response and minimizes the likelihood of infection.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is not covered by insurances, but due to the popularity and publication of use by many professional athletes, the demand for its use is great.
