One of our missions as veterinarians and as a veterinary team is to relieve pain in our patients.

Degenerative joint disease (DJD, arthritis), is extremely common in our pets, just as it is in people. Regenerative medicine involves using the bodies own cells to bring healing and the elimination of pain to our patients. There is not a drug in existence that can provide the level of pain elimination/management that regenerative medicine can.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses a patient’s own blood components to stimulate a healing response in damaged tissues. In response to an injury or tissue damage, the body naturally redirects platelets (clotting cells) from the blood to the injured area to initiate a healing response. Platelets storenumerous growth factors that are released in response to signals from the injured tissue. When a concentrated solution of platelets are injected directly into injured tissue, the same healing response is stimulated, but in a more powerful form. By enhancing the body’s natural healing capacity, the treatment may lead to a more rapid, more efficient, and more thorough restoration of the tissue to a healthy state.

If you think your pet has chronic arthritis pain and you would like to discuss PRP, please contact us.
