Chronic joint pain is a common problem that can have a significant effect on the quality of life. Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic joint pain. At Evolve Medical, our minimally-invasive treatments for severe osteoarthritis patients can not only provide relief, but also help reduce inflammation and regenerate damaged tissue to help improve joint function and delay or avoid more invasive procedures like joint replacement.
Platelet-rich plasma is a blood-based substance. Blood has two primary components: red blood cells and plasma. Plasma comprises white blood cells and platelets rich in growth factors.
A typical blood sample will be taken from your arm and extracted in preparation for PRP care. The plasma is segregated from the red blood cells by a centrifuge, which removes the red blood cells from the plasma. Plasma, rich in platelets, is then injected into your joint to reduce inflammation and stimulate development of damaged tissue.
Stem cell regenerative therapy is a growing treatment option for many conditions. Greater knowledge of the biology of stem cells has provided new insights and opportunity for clinical applications.
