Regenerative Medicine
These innovative, outpatient procedures are minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided and use local anesthesia. They are used for a variety of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions including:
  • Tendon injuries affecting the Ankle (Achilles tendonitis)
  • Tendon injuries affecting the Knee ("Jumpers knee")
  • Tendon injuries affecting the Elbow ("Tennis elbow" or "Golfer's elbow")
  • Plantar Fascia injurie ("Plantar fasciitis")
  • Ligament sprains
  • Arthritis and meniscal injuries

    • Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
    Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) or "Shockwave" is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. Originally developed for breaking up kidney stones, ESWT is now widely used in sports medicine to treat chronic pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, and more!

    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
    Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that contains more platelets than normal.

    To create platelet-rich plasma, we take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.

    After creating platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s blood sample, that solution is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee or a tendon. In some cases, the clinician may use ultrasound to guide the injection. The idea is to increase the concentration of specific bioproteins or hormones, called growth factors, in a specific area to accelerate the healing process.
