For those dogs with joint disease where surgery is not an option, we offer Intra-Articular Injections with either Platelet Rich Plasma or Regena flex products to assist in the reduction of joint or soft tissue inflammation. These methods may be coupled with adjunctive therapy or standalone Shock Wave Treatment.
Understanding Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is derived from removing red blood cells from whole blood and isolating platelets. A sample of blood is taken from a patient and then spun down in a centrifuge. After the blood is properly spun down, the left-over concentrate is called PRP, which contains platelets and proteins that will then be injected into the affected area(s) which will be used to promote healing and treat areas of inflammation in your pets’ ligaments, muscles, and tendons. It may also help with bone regeneration after a bone fracture.
