Platelet-rich plasma therapy with Dr James Cook MRCVS at The Pet Vet - Lincoln!

In addition to being a highly experienced surgeon and GP, our new Head Vet Dr James Cook MRCVS is introducing a new orthobiologic treatment to support the treatment of pets with inflammatory conditions that affect joints, such as osteoarthritis.

This is in the form of platelet-rich plasma injections, which involves using a pet’s own blood to reduce inflammation and prolong longevity of diseased joints. In addition to assisting in the treatment of inflammatory conditions, it can also support bone regeneration after a fracture.

Here's a video with James talking through platelet-rich plasma therapy in more detail and how it can benefit pets.

We're delighted to be able to offer this service at The Pet Vet Lincoln!
