Athletes, including Tiger Woods, have received the most media coverage from seeking platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments for orthopaedic injuries. However, a March 30, 2010 article by Melinda Beck of the Wall Street Journal –
“Spinning Blood Isn’t Just for Athletes” – highlights the use of PRP for non-athletes as well.
Medical researchers are reporting remarkable results using Platelet Regeneration Therapy using PRP in the treatment of common injuries, including tendinitis; the regeneration of cartilage in osteoarthritis of the thumbs, knees and hips; and in non-surgical repair of rotator cuff tears. Published studies show restoration and smoothing of roughened cartilage; improved range of motion; and resolution of pain in osteoarthritis of hips, knees and shoulders.
We commonly use Platelet Regeneration Therapy on tendons, ligaments and joints throughout the body, including:
•Sports injuries, including tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
•Tendonitis
•Ligament and meniscal injuries
•Lower back
•Arthritic joints
•Rotator cuff tear of the shoulder
•Osteoarthritis of the hip, knee andd shoulder
