PRP Injections: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Orthopaedic Conditions Provided by Orthopaedic Specialists of Connecticut

What are PRP Injections?

PRP injections are a form of regenerative medicine that utilizes a patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. A small sample of the patient's blood is taken and then processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors and other healing agents. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the area of the body that is injured or causing pain.

What Conditions Can Be Treated with PRP Injections?

PRP injections can be used to treat a range of Orthopaedic conditions, including:
Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition causing joint pain and stiffness.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of a tendon causing pain and weakness in the affected area.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain and inflammation in the outer elbow due to overuse or injury to tendons attached to the lateral epicondyle.

Stem Cell or PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

Stem Cell or PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is a relatively new and exciting form of regenerative medicine that Orthopaedic Specialists are now able to offer as an effective treatment for musculoskeletal problems. In a nutshell, this treatment works by using concentrated sources of your own stem cells which are harvested from either your bones or fat tissues and are clinically injected into the affected area to promote healing and regeneration. Orthopaedic Specialists can inspect the area with ultrasound imaging in order to visualize the injection process, meaning that this type of treatment can be delivered more accurately than ever before. This cutting-edge approach to Orthopaedics has revolutionized the way physicians are treating musculoskeletal injuries, allowing them to provide care that is both cost-effective and minimally invasive.
