PRP & Stem Cell Therapy
Our team at Advanced Orthopedics & Joint Preservation always looks to merge innovation with efficiency to help our patients recover from their injuries.

There are many benefits to be had from this form of treatment, so don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with our team if you’re interested in learning more.
What Is It?
PRP and stem cell therapy are two types of injections our team can administer to facilitate healing in an affected area. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma and is defined as autologous blood with platelet concentrations above normal baseline levels. In situations where PRP therapy is used, the platelet-rich blood is drawn directly from the patient, then injected back into the problematic area. Stem cell therapy involves injecting a stem cell-rich biocompatible matrix into the body’s damaged or pain-filled part. Much like PRP therapy, the stem cells used for this injection can be taken from your own body, limiting any adverse effects.
