Additional services

We also offer platelet-rich plasma treatment. This is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to speed the healing of injuries. The patient’s blood is drawn and a special machine is used to separate the platelets, and only those platelets are injected back into an injured, inflamed or diseased area to help it heal.
