A simple blood draw procedure is performed as done for any routine blood check-up. Then spin the blood in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets and plasma proteins for your injections. Platelets are known for their ability to stop bleeding and wound healing. Platelets contain over 1500 growth and healing factors and plasma contains anti-inflammatory proteins that are documented to promote and accelerate healing and repair of tissue.
Typically 3-4 injections are required. Depending on the region and extent of injury, you may require multiple treatments, along with personalized physical therapy. After your injections, for the first two days, it’s normal to experience some swelling and discomfort at the injection site, which should resolve on its own. In the meantime, we will provide you with instructions on safe ways to manage the discomfort.
