Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for OA

PRP therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets from your own blood into the affected joint. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. New studies suggest that PRP may even help with cartilage regeneration in osteoarthritic joints, making it a promising non-surgical option for pain relief and improved function.

Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT)

Focused electromagnetic shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends acoustic waves deep into the tissues to stimulate blood flow and cellular repair. It is particularly effective for managing chronic joint pain and stiffness caused by OA. This therapy offers relief without the downtime or risks associated with surgery.

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M)

A2M therapy is a new therapy that targets the enzymes that break down cartilage, helping to protect joint integrity and slow the progression of osteoarthritis. When delivered precisely into the affected joint with ultrasound guidance, A2M can provide both pain relief and long-term benefits.

Physical Therapy and Home Exercise Programs

Structured physical therapy or personalized home exercise programs are essential components of OA management. We can help develop this plan at our on-site gym. Movement strengthens the surrounding muscles and improves joint stability, helping you stay active and minimize discomfort.

Supplementation and Medications

For individuals with osteoarthritis, supplementation and medications can be integral to a comprehensive treatment plan. These options can help manage inflammation, improve joint health, and alleviate symptoms when combined with other therapies. We recommend guided monitoring with comprehensive bloodwork and regular follow-ups to ensure supplementation is safe and effective.
