PRP is an increasingly recognized method of treatment for several orthopaedic conditions such as muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries; arthritis; and fractures. It is obtained by processing a sample of your own blood to concentrate platelets and harness their regenerative properties. PRP injections can help alleviate painful symptoms, promote healing, and delay joint replacement surgeries.
Shockwave treatment utilizes mechanical high energy sound waves, which function by improving blood flow to the inflamed area to speed up the healing process. It can be used in the treatment of several Chronic pain conditions including Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, and Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy.
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is an FDA-approved, painless, safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment method that employs light to mitigate pain, decrease inflammation, and boost soft tissue repair and wound healing. It ensures deep penetration without producing heat and enables faster healing without any known side effects.
Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) is a type of regenerative therapy that involves the processing of your own adipose (fat) tissue to obtain a concentrated source of adipose-derived stromal cells. These cells are then used to treat various painful conditions, particularly those involving musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis of the joints and tendon injuries.
The Correct Diagnosis is important. An MRI is diagnostic tool but is not a diagnosis in and of itself. A physical examination is needed, and although many times after an injury, there may be “joint pain”, sometimes the problem is not Inside the joint, but the ligaments or tendons external to the joint. This is where a more detailed evaluation and varied treatment options are needed. Prolotherapy is one modality of treatment that target micro laxity of the ligaments of the foot, ankle, knee and shoulder that can contribute to joint pain, without the problem being inside the joint. Joint surgery for an extra-articular problem may provide little to no benefit, but comes with the downsides of surgery.
