Biological Injections

Biologic injections, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, are a type of regenerative treatment increasingly used to help relieve pain and improve healing in conditions like osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal issues. Here’s an overview to help you understand how it works and what to expect:

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood to help promote healing. Blood contains platelets, which are rich in growth factors that can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and stimulate tissue repair.
During a PRP treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, and it's then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. This concentrated solution, or “PRP,” is injected directly into the affected joint or tissue.

How Does PRP Help with Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Conditions?

PRP is believed to help reduce inflammation, which is often a major source of pain in osteoarthritis and tendon injuries.
The growth factors in PRP may promote healing in damaged tissues, including cartilage and tendons. For osteoarthritis, this means it may help improve joint function and reduce pain by aiding in the health of the joint cartilage.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

Pain Relief: Many patients report decreased pain in the treated joint after a series of PRP injections.
Improved Joint Function: By reducing inflammation and supporting tissue health, PRP may improve joint movement.
Less Invasive: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, it is generally considered safe and has fewer risks than surgery.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

PRP therapy is usually an outpatient procedure and only takes about an hour.
After the injection, you might experience some initial soreness or swelling, which generally resolves within a few days.
For best results, a series of injections may be recommended over several months.

Is PRP Right for Everyone?

PRP is most effective for mild to moderate osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries, such as tendinitis or partial tendon tears.
It may not be as effective for severe osteoarthritis where the cartilage is significantly worn away.
Talk with your healthcare provider to see if PRP is a good option based on your condition and overall health.

Safety and Risks

PRP is generally safe, with minimal risk since it uses your own blood. Possible side effects include temporary pain or inflammation at the injection site.
Like any procedure, there's a small risk of infection or adverse reaction, but this is rare.

Rogelio C. Fort Lauderdale, FL

Doc Brown is an amazing. Professional, knowledgeable and yet the kind of guy you could hang out with. You can see he's a good teacher. Walking me through the procedure taking as much time as needed and then personally checking up on you. I was looking into knee replacements and now after a couple of visits with Doc Brown, I know PRP is definitely a must. Nurse Carol is amazing. She can do it all! Taking blood while making sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. They are a great team! Which made me feel alot better when I first came in. I wish I had done this sooner. Feel like a kid again. Thanks Doc Brown for excellent care these last few months.

John A. Fort Lauderdale, FL

Dr Brown was terrific with his bedside manner and explanations. I can't recommend them highly enough. His assistant, Carrol was also great as she kept me informed on every step of the procedure. Had a PRP injection in my left knee and it could not have gone any better. Will be returning for the right knee.
