Degenerative Disc Disease: How to Slow Down the Progression
Don’t let the pain of degenerative disc disease continue to interfere with your life. Innovative cellular therapy addresses the root of the pain to bring you relief when you need it most.
Is PRP Right for Me?
Modern medicine is continually evolving, and one of the most intriguing advancements in recent years has been in the area of regenerative medicine, with treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
Known for its potential to accelerate healing, PRP therapy has piqued the interest of patients and practitioners alike, offering an alternative solution for a variety of health concerns.
At Dr. Stem Cell, in Encino California, regenerative medicine specialist Bruce Fishman, MD, MPH, FICS, and his team, including Melat Haile, FNP, MSN, NP-C, are at the forefront of this promising field.
We strive to provide our patients with access to cutting-edge regenerative therapies that address all types of pain. With PRP, we're harnessing your body's natural healing mechanisms to improve recovery and combat various chronic pain conditions.
The science behind PRP
PRP therapy revolves around your body's natural healing mechanisms. Platelets, a component of your blood, are rich in growth factors that aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
In PRP therapy, we take a sample of your blood and spin in a centrifuge to separate these healing platelets from other blood components, including plasma. Then, we concentrate the platelets in a small amount of plasma and inject the PRP solution into the targeted area to promote healing.
For decades, PRP has found uses in fields like sports medicine and orthopedics, and it’s now gaining momentum in other medical and aesthetic arenas. At Dr. Stem Cell, we utilize PRP therapy in several applications, all aimed at accelerating the body's healing processes.
Is PRP right for you?
Identifying the suitability of PRP therapy for an individual is a crucial first step. It's a versatile therapy that’s useful for many conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament sprains, and chronic joint pain.
However, the best way to determine if PRP is the right treatment option for you is to consult with our experienced team at Dr. Stem Cell. We thoroughly assess your medical history and current health status to make an informed recommendation.
The PRP procedure
When you choose PRP therapy at Dr. Stem Cell, you're in the hands of skilled professionals. Our team prioritizes patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure, and we're committed to ensuring your experience is positive.
The process typically lasts about an hour from the time we draw your blood sample to the time we inject your PRP solution.
Post-PRP therapy care
Most patients tolerate PRP therapy well with minimal downtime. After your PRP therapy, our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions.
Minor swelling or discomfort at the injection site is common but typically subsides within a few days. Some patients begin to see improvements within weeks, but the timeline can vary based on the treatment area and individual healing responses.
We monitor your progress closely and provide guidance as you navigate the post-therapy healing process. Our goal is to optimize your recovery and maximize the benefits of this innovative therapy.
