Of late, there has been
quite a buzz around platelet rich plasma for the treatment of knee injuries,
hip injuries, and curing degenerative disc disease. Latest to leverage the
benefit of the procedure is eminent American Basketball player, Derrick Rose. He
had platelet
rich plasma injections onto his sore knees. It has been readily seen
that the PRP procedure is pretty simple wherein the orthopedist extracts
patient’s self blood, which is spun and centrifuged to separate out and
concentrate the platelets. The contained factors stimulate the growth of
healthy tissues. The derived concentrated liquid is injected back into trouble
areas to facilitate faster healing in damaged tissue.
PRP treatment has been
expanded into nerve injuries, tendon repair, and most commonly for healing
sports injuries. Patients in large count have been benefited by the therapy, of
which majority are athletes. If you encounter tingling pain in knee joints or
suffering from any nerve injuries, you need a good medical treatment. The best
part of the PRP therapy is – it does not involve pain and discomfort as in the
case of conventional surgical modes. MetroMD is one such Institute of
Regenerative Medicine in Los Angeles that treats the patients with innovative
technology and helps them have a balanced lifestyle. PRP has been the best pain
management therapy for shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee pain.
The revolutionary cardiac
stem cell therapy is given to promoting soft tissue and bone healing in
the affected areas i.e., rotator cuff, tennis elbow, torn or stretched
ligaments or tendons. The procedure is performed by highly experienced
orthopedist, and your pain is managed in the most effective way.
With PRP booming, we are
entering into an era of emerging field of regenerative medicine where your own
stem cells hold the promise to alleviate the pain and cure chronic nerve
injuries. The only downside of plasma rich platelet therapies’ cost is not yet
covered by majority of the insurance companies. Should you have any question
