Chronic wounds include diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and arterial ulcers. it is used to help regenerate soft tissue.

PLATELET RICH PLASMAS
Patients should consider PRP treatment if they have been diagnosed with a tendon injury in which conservative treatment such as anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, and bracing have not provided symptomatic relief.
​
For most patients PRP offers a solid, alternative treatment for those who do not wish to have surgery. An initial evaluation will determine if PRP is a viable treatment option. Using the patient’s own blood, specially prepared platelets are taken and then re-injected into the affected area. The platelets release substances known as “growth factors” that lead to tissue healing. By concentrating the platelets that release growth factors up to 14 times, healing is promoted. While other treatments such as corticosteroid injections may provide temporary relief and stop inflammation, PRP injections actually heal over a period of time.

PILLOWS FOR THE FEET

Treatment involves the injection of filler into the ball of the foot to act as “internal padding” which reduces pain while walking. Results will last for approximately 6-12 months. Repetition of the procedure increases collagen with time, providing longer results with subsequent injections.
