PRP Makes Headlines

PRP gains national attention! CBS The Early Show had a significant segment on this topic. We’ve always believed in the healing power of Platelet-Rich Plasma.  At my offices, we’ve been in front of the pack, perfecting the technique and learning from years of experience.

PRP isn’t magic – but it is a terrific approach for combatting certain kinds of pain, injuries and arthritis.  How wonderful it was to see Dr. Sampson on The Early Show, speaking of his successes!  He wrote the foreword segment to my book “Beyond the Knife.”

Every treatment doesn’t work for every person.  But when PRP works, it’s akin to a miracle.  Ask any of my patients who have had great results. Click here to read patient testimonials.  It’s not magic – it’s medicine that works.

Essential Reading for the informed Patient and Physician, 

September 29, 2011

By Letha Hadady "Letha" (The Big Apple) 

This review is from: Beyond the Knife: Alternatives to Surgery (Paperback)

You have got to read this book before considering surgery. Dr. Alan Lazar MD, orthopedic surgeon with over 30 years, experience writes clear, understandable descriptions of cutting edge non-surgical medical practices used for a wide variety of major health issues. They include freezing dead tissue and tumors, using radio high frequencies for eliminating varicose veins, and laser therapies. The doctor specializes in PRP platelet rich plasma injections and stem cell injections for sports and other injuries, arthritis, and for chronic pain conditions. He has taken time out from his busy private practice in Plantation, Florida and his teaching around the world to explain what he does and why. Using our own blood growth factors, the body can heal itself. PRP is where alternative natural medicine meets traditional surgery in order to greatly speed healing and prevent illness. Dr. Lazar is making a brilliant contribution to the field of stem cell research and this book shares his work with a public in desperate need of help.

Athletes Thrive with PRP! So Can You.

The news just keeps getting better!  For athletes at Appalachian State University, the initial results were good - and the current results are event better!  If you’ve read the most recent blog post, you’ll remember that several ASU football players have undergone Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment, with one of them returning to the field in a week.  Well, X-rays and sonograms prove what their bodies already knew – these athletes are healing miraculously well – and quickly.

It’s not really a miracle – it is modern medicine tied directly to the body’s own healing abilities.  That’s what makes PRP such a great alternative to other options, such as surgery and medication.  By utilizing PRP with Adult Stem Cells (ASC) when necessary, the body can heal quickly, with minimal down time.  Professional and college athletes are turning to PRP more and more.  So are weekend warriors.

You don’t have to be an athlete to feel the benefits.  Everybody suffers injuries from time to time.  PRP might be right for you!
