Chapters

Can you describe platelet rich plasma PRF in regards to functional orthopedic medicine? Platelet rich plasma, that's basically where we take your whole blood, take that blood, we spin it in a centrifuge to really concentrate the platelet and it seems like the magic is at 10x10 times what's in a normal patient's blood volume. And then we can use different formulation, we can leave the white blood cells in there if we're going to do one certain type of procedure, you know that's really good for tendinitis or we can take those white blood cells out and do leukocyte core prp which is really great for joint and then we can also use the other products of platelet, we do prf. There's other types of formulations. We can do platelet poor plasma PPP which can be great for trigger point injections and muscular injections. So there's just a lot of versatility in the use of that type of regenerative therapy, particularly in what I do which is manage patients with joint pain.
