The Group23 regenerative clinic offers image-guided injection therapies shown to help the body heal itself from injury. In the past decade, significant advances have been made in using natural substances to help injured tissues heal, and arthritic joints feel much better without using strong chemicals like cortisone. At Group23, our regenerative clinic offers two distinct injection therapy techniques using ultrasound guidance: prolotherapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injection.
Prolotherapy is an injection treatment that uses a natural sugar solution to stimulate healing within an injured tendon, ligament or joint. The injection stimulates a helpful, natural inflammatory response, releasing growth factors to help with the repair of injured tissue.
The number of treatments varies depending on how your body responds to the treatment. In general, most men require 4-6 injections, and women 6-9 injections, spaced 2-3 weeks apart for best results.
PRP is an injection treatment that uses a portion of your own blood, the plasma, to stimulate natural healing within an injured tendon, ligament, or joint. The injection stimulates a helpful, natural inflammatory response, releasing growth factors to help with the repair of injured tissue. Your blood will be collected and immediately spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, hence the name Platelet-Rich Plasma. It will then be injected into the injured tissue or joint. The side effects of PRP injections are very limited since the injections are created from your own blood.
The number of treatments varies from patient to patient, depending on a multitude of factors. In general, most patients will require 2 injections roughly 4 weeks apart for best results.
