PRP Injections

Great news! Dr. Rubin is now offering PRP injections to treat a variety of orthopedic complaints.

Orthopedic PRP injections offer a non-surgical option for patients suffering from chronic joint, tendon, and ligament pain and injuries. A PRP injection involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient’s arm, extracting the PRP from the blood using a centrifuge, and then injecting the PRP into the injured area to reduce inflammation and pain.

Orthopedic PRP injections have several advantages over traditional treatments, such as:

  1. Non-surgical: Patients can avoid invasive procedures like surgery to alleviate pain and injuries.
  2. Faster recovery: they can accelerate patients’ recovery from injuries and get them back to their daily routine quicker.
  3. Natural healing: they activate the body’s natural healing processes, helping patients avoid side effects and risks associated with medications and other treatments.
  4. Low risk: they are a low-risk treatment option, as they use the patient’s blood, lowering the risk of infection or adverse reactions.

Orthopedic PRP injections are used to treat various conditions, such as:

  1. Osteoarthritis: decrease inflammation and pain in patients with osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that affects millions worldwide.
  2. Tendinitis: ease pain and promote healing in patients with tendinitis, an inflammation of the tendons caused by overuse or injury.
  3. Ligament injuries: treat ligament injuries like sprains or tears, helping with pain, inflammation, and promoting healing.
  4. Rotator cuff injuries: treat rotator cuff injuries, common in athletes, and reduce pain and improve mobility.
