Understanding the Difference and How Each Can Help You If you’ve spent some time at our website, you have probably already noticed that we offer two very similar types of plasma-based treatment: platelet rich plasma (PRP) and platelet poor plasma (PPP). Like many patients, you’re probably wondering what differentiates these two treatments. Wonder no more. We’ve created this quick primer to introduce you to the subject so you can better understand just how these amazing substances can be used to help you! The Similarities Before we go into the differences, it helps to explain how these two substances are similar. Both PRP and PPP come from your own blood, and both have two main ingredients: platelets and plasma. (The other two main ingredients of human blood, red blood cells and white blood cells, are not used in our treatments.) Furthermore, both are created in approximately the same way. A blood sample is taken from you, the patient, and then placed in one of our highly advanced centrifuges. As the centrifuge spins, the sample separates into its component parts. Our doctors can then use this separated sample to create solutions of PRP and PPP. Depending on your needs, we may even be able to create both PRP and PPP from the same blood sample! PRP: Platelet Rich Plasma Once the centrifuges have done their work, it’s time to create PRP. As you might have guessed from the name, PRP is a mixture of both platelets and plasma which contains a high […]

Before You Opt for a Knee or Shoulder Replacement, Consider Stem Cell Therapy It’s a familiar question for people who own homes, cars, and other pieces of expensive technology: do I repair whatever is going wrong, or do I replace it? This is usually a decision that requires a careful cost/benefit analysis, weighing the pros and cons of each choice. Frankly, most people don’t look forward to it. But imagine if you didn’t have the luxury of making that choice. Imagine if there was no way to fix what was wrong, so you simply had to replace the entire troublesome system – no matter how costly or inconvenient it might be. For many patients with knee, shoulder, or hip injuries, this was exactly their dilemma. They had already failed to respond to conventional treatment. Their doctors had told them now that their only option left was a joint replacement, major surgery that would require weeks or months of painful rehabilitation. Luckily, that was then, and this is now. Patients who are candidates for knee, shoulder, or hip replacement have another option: stem cell therapy. Why should patients consider stem cell therapy first? Stem cell therapy uses stem cells from your own body to directly heal an injury. Our doctors will remove adult stem cells from your bone marrow or belly fat and inject them directly at the site of your original injury, usually mixing the stem cells with PRP or PPP. Once there, the stem cells will turn into whatever […]
