At Advanced Orthopedic Specialists, we are devoted to offering you access to the latest promising therapies. One such modality is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. For patients who have experienced an injury to a tendon or ligament, PRP carries extra growth factors to the affected area, speeding the healing process. The PRP is extracted from the patient’s own blood via a centrifuge and is then injected into the affected area, guided by real-time ultrasonography. Once there, the PRP helps the injured tissue regenerate faster than it would otherwise.

PRP injections can be helpful for the treatment of:

• Spinal ligaments and joints
• Partial rotator cuff tears
• Biceps tendinosis
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Ulnar collateral ligament injury
• Distal biceps tendon partial tear
• Chronic thumb sprain
• Joint arthritis
• Hamstring strain
• Patellar tendonitis/tendinosis
• Quadriceps strain or partial tear
• Degenerative arthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Calf pain
• Chronic ligament strains
• Chronic Achilles tendinosis
• Chronic partial tendon tear
• Plantar fasciitis

Our selected providers have completed additional training specifically in PRP and has the expertise and experience to assess, diagnose, and treat your injury or condition.
