New Treatments

PRP

Dr. Mody is now doing PRP injection treatments. PRP is an abbreviation for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is what’s left when blood cells are separated from the liquid component of human whole blood. The plasma portion contains numerous biologic factors that have been shown to enhance healing in animal and human studies. Some of this work dates back to the early 90’s.

At this very moment there are many applications where human serum factors are being used to enhance tissue and bone healing. Reasons for the increased interest in PRP injection therapy for the treatment of tendonitis include failed treatment with cortisone injections, physical therapy, or a combination of both. 

Dr. Mody would be happy to discuss the possibility of PRP injections in your treatment plan or answer any questions you may have on PRP.
