PRP

The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy pre-care involves avoiding anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroids, and certain supplements to reduce bleeding risks. Hydration is encouraged, and patients should wear comfortable clothing. Post-care includes managing soreness with heat instead of ice, avoiding NSAIDs, and refraining from strenuous activities for a week. Improvement may be gradual, with most patients seeing results within 4-12 weeks.

Cortisone Injections

Cortisone injections are used to reduce inflammation and pain in joints, tendons, or other areas. They are commonly administered for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. While cortisone injections can provide temporary relief, patients may experience some side effects, like swelling or discomfort at the injection site. After receiving an injection, it's recommended to avoid intense physical activities for a short period to allow the medication to take effect.

Viscosupplementation Injections

Viscosupplementation injections are typically used to treat knee osteoarthritis by injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint. This lubricates the joint, reducing pain and improving mobility. It's generally recommended for patients who haven't responded to other treatments like physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medications. The effects may take weeks to show, and relief can last for several months.

Ultrasound Guided Injections

Ultrasound-Guided Cortisone Injections provide precise, targeted relief in areas where a traditional freehand injection may not be ideal. Using advanced ultrasound imaging, our physicians can clearly visualize the affected structures in real time. This allows for accurate placement of the injection, ensuring the medication reaches exactly where it's needed most. The technique also enhances safety by helping avoid nearby nerves, blood vessels, and other sensitive tissues.
