A new BIOTECHNOLOGY - minimally invasive using image guidance (All done thru a small needle prick)

Who is it for?

Patients with:

1)      Tendinitis (Acute or Chronic)

            a.       Plantar Fasciitis

            b.       Achilles Tendon

            c.       Patellar Tendon

            d.       Tennis Elbow

            e.       Golfers Elbow

            f.        Rotator Cuff

2)      Osteoarthritis of major joints

            a.       Shoulder

            b.       Elbow

            c.       Hip

            d.       Knee

            e.       Ankle

What does it do?

It TURBOCHARGES the body’s own natural healing processes.

All of the areas above lack an abundant amount of blood flow.

Some of the injuries above can take months or even years to fully heal and REINJURY is very common!

How does it work?

Normal drop of blood (1cc): 100,000 – 200,000 platelets

Platelets: contain 40 different kinds of cytokines

Cytokines: the building blocks of GROWTH and REGENERATION

ATG w/ PRP:

New BIOTECHNOLOGY that starts by drawing some of your OWN blood

Using a special centrifuge technique, we harvest 3-5cc’s of a concentrate

This concentrate contains:

3,000,000 - 5,000,000 PLATELETS  (MILLIONS - not 100K’s)

Human Growth Factors

Autologous undifferentiated STEM CELLS

(Not the controversial EMBYONIC stem cells – these are naturally occurring cells in all of our bodies in low concentrations that participate in tissue healing and regeneration every day – the problem is with these type injuries we can’t get a big enough number of these cells to the site of injury for them to be effective)

When the ATG W/ PRP are injected into a site of ACUTE or CHRONIC injury, a HEALING cascade is initiated and the body’s own BIOCHEMISTRY is enlisted for RAPID REPAIR of the damage – usually taking weeks instead of months or a year.
