Orthobiologics and PRP Therapy for Joint Pain and Injury Recovery
When joint pain, tendon injuries, or soft tissue damage interfere with your ability to live actively, RGV Direct Care offers innovative healing options through orthobiologics and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. These regenerative treatments use your body’s own natural healing factors to repair damage, reduce inflammation, and restore strength without relying on surgery or long-term medications.
What Are Orthobiologics and PRP Therapy?
Orthobiologics are treatments that use substances derived from your own body—such as blood, platelets, or bone marrow—to accelerate healing in muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most effective forms of orthobiologics.
Through a simple in-office procedure, a sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors, then injected into the injured or painful area. This regenerative medicine treatment boosts your body’s natural ability to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility.
At RGV Direct Care, we use PRP therapy for a wide range of conditions:
- Joint Pain Relief: Supporting natural joint healing for knees, hips, and shoulders.
- Shoulder and Knee Injections: Targeted PRP therapy for ligament injuries and rotator cuff strains.
- Plantar Fasciitis Treatment: Reducing heel pain and stimulating soft tissue repair.
- Tennis Elbow Relief: Addressing chronic tendonitis with biologic therapies.
Whether you are managing arthritis, recovering from a sports injury, or seeking an alternative to joint surgery, orthobiologics offer a minimally invasive solution tailored to your needs.
