Advanced Pain Management Techniques
PRP Therapy
For rapid healing and recovery, PRP therapy is an advanced treatment option available at Lone Star Orthopaedics. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Found in your blood, platelets are involved in the repair process at the site of an injury or wound. They signal stem cells to gather at the injury and generate new, healthy tissue to repair the damage.
A PRP injection contains a super-concentrated dose of platelets taken from your own blood. The injection gives your body a boost to repair damage faster than normal. It is used for treating many conditions, including osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, ankle sprains, tendinitis, and more.
Viscosupplementation
At Lone Star Orthopaedic and Spine Specialists, you can also try viscosupplementation. It is typically used for knee arthritis. An injection of hyaluronic acid lubricates and cushions the knee joint relieving the bone-on-bone friction that causes so much pain. You can regain your mobility and be free of pain for several months, depending on how bad your joint is. If you are trying to delay joint replacement, viscosupplementation is a great option.
