PURE - PLATELET RICH PLASMA (P-PRP) INJECTION TREATMENT UK
SOFT TISSUE/JOINT INJECTION THERAPY & COSMETIC/HAIR LOSS TREATMENT
PRP injection treatments are the most common and popular treatments we do here at our Dynamic Clinics in Birmingham and Warwickshire. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cell biologics treatment that is effectively used in the regions of orthopaedic medicine, musculoskeletal medicine, sports injury medicine, and of course, is very commonly used within cosmetic aesthetics, especially hair loss treatment & skin rejuvenation. The reason why PRP therapy is so popular in hair loss treatment & skin rejuvenation is due to its ability to stimulate dormant hair follicles and to promote & restore new skin collagen. Due to PRP treatment having the staggering ability to stimulate dying hair follicles, it has to make PRP treatment and very favourable and effective No. 1 treatment for hair loss and hair restoration.
Within musculoskeletal medicine, PRP treatment is used to treat a wide range of muscle strains/tears, ligament/joint damage, tendon injuries, arthritis/joint degenerative conditions, and for joint maintenance. PRP treatment is a very popular treatment used to facilitate the repair and healing of injured or damaged tissues.
PRP treatment is an exciting treatment in a new health sector known as "ORTHOBIOLOGICS". The philosophy behind orthobiologics - is to merge cutting-edge biological technological treatment with the body's natural ability to heal itself. PRP treatment is a very common and simple form of regenerative medicine consisting of a specialised process by which specialised bioactive growth factors are harvested from the patient's own blood, are then concentrated and used into an area of tissue damage to stimulate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and decrease pain. Our blood is made of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. It is the platelets that release healing proteins called growth factors and it is these growth factors that accelerate tissue healing. By increasing these platelets, we are able to deliver an amplified mixture of growth factors that can dramatically enhance tissue repair and healing. Here at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine we only use the best i-Stem PRP kits for the best quality platelet-rich plasma. Further information on PRP therapy can be found on the following links below:
PRP treatments have been used extensively for the following with fantastic results:
1) THE TREATMENT OF HAIR LOSS
2) COSMETIC AESTHETICS
3) JOINT / SOFT TISSUE PAIN & INJURY
Dynamic Regenerative Medicine uses an advanced form of P-PRP (PURE PRP) with i-Stem PRP injection treatment in Birmingham and surrounding areas that uses a concentrated blood platelet injection containing highly concentrated healing growth components that increase the body’s natural ability to repair itself. Here at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine we only use the best iStem PRP kits UK.
P-PRP treatments are effective due to platelets having a stimulating effect within the targeted area. Also, they play a key role in repairing damaged tissue. So the primary goal in platelet (PRP) treatments is to get these powerful cells to work harder and faster.
Mr Adam Whatley is the clinic director and specialises in regenerative medicine – providing an effective multitude of safe, easy and non-surgical treatments, within orthopaedics and cosmetic aesthetics.
PRP PROCEDURE
PRP is a very simple, fast and safe procedure whereby, a small amount of blood (20-40ml) is drawn from the patient's vein (same procedure of having a blood test). The blood is then placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood for 15 minutes - separating the contents of the blood into red blood cells and white blood cells (plasma) - 10ml of each. For treatment, we require the 10-20ml of plasma. From this 10-20ml, it will then be divided half again into 5-10ml high concentration P-PRP and 5-10ml PPP (platelet-poor plasma). We then use the 5-10ml high concentration P-PRP, with the possibility of adding some additional PPP if we wish. Platelet concentration 3/6 over baseline. These platelets are rich in healing growth factors. These highly concentrated platelets are then specifically injected into the focus area (whether it be for pain management or for cosmetic purposes). Non-injection treatment is also offered via mesotherapy. Here at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine we only use i-Stem PRP kits UK.
Our PRP treatments are carried out in a very speedy fashion and pain or discomfort is kept to an absolute minimum. In fact, the majority of our patients are able to carry out their normal daily routine the same day of treatment, although relative rest is advised. During this time, specialised platelets release bioactive growth factors that stimulate repairing healing. Since the treatment is prepared from your own blood cells, the treatment carries a very low risk and side-effects are generally very uncommon. The number of injections required depends on the area of concern.
As mentioned above the treatment itself is very fast, and can be done and finished in just a few minutes.
Following the consultation, we can then (if you choose to) apply a mild anaesthetic numbing agent to the treated area, prior to your treatment. This makes the procedure even more comfortable. The majority of our patients have said the procedure is NOT painful, with over 90% of our patients not opting to use any numbing agent.
Please note: If you are prone to feeling light headed or fainting with a blood draw, it will be recommended to drink plenty of water and to keep very well hydrated the days leading up to your treatment and the day of. Also, to eat a good breakfast before coming in, along with bringing a bottle of cold water and some sugary food with you.
PRP RECOVERY
After the PRP injection treatment, the patient is free to head off home and carry on with normal routine activities, with post-procedure instructions (in accordance with your specific treatment). It is not uncommon to experience very mild discomfort for a couple of hours to a day or so following PRP treatment, as this represents part of the healing process and is completely normal, but the majority of patients experience little discomfort following treatment. It is advised NOT to take anti-inflammatories following your treatment, however, paracetamol is fine. Follow up is usually in four weeks.
Patients who are having treatment for joint pain or tendinitis, these are encouraged to participate in a protocol of physical rehabilitation therapy following the treatment to enhance and speed recovery.
WHO CAN HAVE PRP TREATMENTS?
PRP injections may be an appropriate choice for patients who have tendon or joint pain OR for cosmetic use in hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.
For those who are having the treatment for pain, ideal candidates are adult patients (over the age of 18) and patients who have failed previous conservative treatment. As long as you are medically fit and well, you can participate in treatment. A list of contra-indications to treatment will be explained to you, like long use of anti-inflammatories or blood thinners, infection, and compromised immune system...

What are the common areas treated with fat dissolving injectionsAt the Dynamic Clinic, our fat dissolving injections are commonly used to target areas such as the chin, jawline, abdomen, thighs, and flanks. These injections are designed to specifically target and reduce localised areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Our experienced team utilise advanced techniques to ensure precise and effective treatment, providing our clients with noticeable results in these specific areas. We prioritise the safety and comfort of our clients, and our staff is dedicated to providing personalised care to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.
-
Are fat dissolving injections permanent?No, fat dissolving injections are not permanent. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we offer fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolytic injections, as a non-surgical method to help reduce localised areas of fat. These injections work by breaking down and liquefying fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. While the results are long-lasting, it's important to note that maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight management is crucial to sustain the effects of the injections. Regular exercise and a balanced diet are essential for preventing the accumulation of new fat in the treated area. Additionally, individual results may vary, and multiple sessions of fat dissolving injections may be required to achieve the desired outcome. Our qualified and experienced team will assess your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
-
How many treatments are needed with fat dissolving injections to see results?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, the number of treatments needed with fat dissolving injections varies depending on the individual and their specific goals. In general, most clients will see noticeable results after 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, this can vary based on the amount of fat being targeted and the individual's body composition. Our experienced clinicians will assess your specific needs during a consultation and create a customised treatment plan to address your concerns and achieve your desired results. We prioritise safety, effectiveness, and individualised care to ensure that each client receives the best possible outcome from their fat dissolving injections.
-
Are top up treatments of fat dissolving injections required?Our approach to fat dissolving injections involves a thorough consultation and personalised treatment plan to ensure optimal results. While the number of sessions required may vary depending on individual factors such as the targeted area, the amount of fat to be reduced, and the desired outcome, top up treatments may be recommended in some cases to achieve the best possible results. Our team of experienced professionals will assess your progress during follow-up appointments and tailor the treatment plan accordingly to ensure the most effective and satisfying outcome. We are committed to delivering safe, effective, and personalized care to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
-
Do fat dissolving injections hurtAt Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we understand that the comfort of our patients is a top priority.

Additionally, our team will work closely with you to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. If you have any concerns about pain or discomfort related to fat dissolving injections, we encourage you to discuss them with our team during your consultation. Our goal is to provide a positive and comfortable experience for all of our patients.
-
How long do fat dissolving injections lastFat dissolving injections, typically provide long-lasting results. The treatment works by breaking down and eliminating fat cells in targeted areas, such as the chin or jowls. After the fat cells are destroyed, they are unable to store or accumulate fat again. This means that the results from fat dissolving injections can be permanent, as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained. However, individual results may vary, and a series of treatments may be needed to achieve the desired outcome. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our team are experienced professionals will assess your specific needs and create a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. We are committed to providing safe, effective, and long-lasting solutions for our clients.

Can Botox help with reducing masseter hypertrophy (jaw muscle mass)?Yes, Botox can be used to reduce masseter hypertrophy. Masseter hypertrophy is a common condition that occurs when the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing, enlarges due to overuse or teeth grinding. This can result in a square-looking jawline and facial pain. Botox injections into the masseter muscle can help relax the muscle and reduce its size, resulting in a more oval-shaped jawline and alleviation of facial pain. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we offer Botox injections for masseter hypertrophy as part of our non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. Our skilled clinicians will assess your condition and provide a personalised treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
-
Is Botox safe?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we understand that many people have questions about Botox and its safety. Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin, which is a neurotoxin that can cause temporary muscle weakening. While this may sound concerning, Botox has been used safely for cosmetic purposes for many years. Botox is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a trained and experienced professional, with a good background in injection therapy. It is important to ensure that your Botox injections are performed by a qualified provider who has extensive experience with this treatment. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we are committed to providing our patients with safe and effective cosmetic treatments, including Botox. If you have any concerns about Botox or its safety, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your cosmetic treatment options.
-
How long does your Botox jaw injection last?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we use Botox injections to treat jaw clenching and teeth grinding. The effects of this treatment typically last around 4-8 months. However, the duration of the effect may vary based on the contributing factors and the individual's body and medical conditions. Our experienced professionals will provide you with all the necessary information and guidance to ensure the best possible outcomes. If you have any questions or concerns about Botox jaw injection, please feel free to contact us.
-
Can Botox help with jaw pain?Yes, Botox can be used as a treatment for jaw pain. It is commonly used to treat temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), a condition that causes pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and muscles. Botox works by relaxing the muscles in the jaw, reducing tension and pain. It is a minimally invasive treatment that can provide long-lasting relief for TMJ symptoms. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our experienced team of medical professionals can help determine if Botox is the right treatment option for your jaw pain. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

Is there any downtime after Botox jaw injection?Botox jaw injection is a non-invasive procedure that does not require any downtime. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. It is important to follow post-procedure instructions provided by your clinician to ensure optimal results and to minimise any potential side effects. If you have any concerns or questions about Botox jaw injection, please get in touch.
-
Do Botox injections hurt?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we strive to provide a comfortable and pain-free experience during all of our treatments, including Botox injections. While everyone's pain tolerance is different, most patients report only minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use a very small needle to administer the Botox, and we can also apply a topical anaesthetic to the treatment area to further minimise any discomfort. After the injection, you may experience some mild swelling or redness, but this typically subsides within a few hours. If you have any concerns about pain or discomfort during your Botox treatment, please don't hesitate to discuss them with our team.

What is a PRP injection?This is a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection treatment that is a safe, popular ortho-biological treatment used to stimulate repair and healing of damaged musculoskeletal tissue (muscle, tendons and joint cartilage). Further information can be found by visiting our page on PRP treatment.
-
Is PRP treatment painful?PRP treatment, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves careful extraction and injection of concentrated platelets from the patient's own plasma into the affected area to promote healing and regeneration. While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the injection process, the procedure itself is typically well-tolerated and does not involve any significant pain. Most of our patients only experience mild discomfort that is very well tolerated. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our team of experienced musculoskeletal professionals over many years of PRP clinical practice have developed a very special technique to ensure treatment is quick and easy, with minimal downtime. We will take every measure to ensure your comfort during the PRP treatment. If you have any concerns about PRP treatment, our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you make an informed decision about your health.
-
Is there any downtime after PRP treatment?Most patients experience little to no downtime after PRP treatment. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or stiffness/swelling at the injection site, but this typically resolves within a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activity for the first 24-48 hours after treatment, but patients can resume their normal activities shortly after. As with any medical procedure, it is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure optimal results.
-
Cortisone or PRP injection?Both cortisone (corticosteroid) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are both very beneficial treatments for joint pain and injuries, but they work in different ways. Cortisone is a steroid injection that reduces inflammation in the joint, providing pain relief. However, cortisone injections are only a temporary solution and can have negative side effects if used too frequently. PRP, on the other hand, uses the body's own platelets to promote healing and regeneration in the joint and of damaged tissue. This treatment is a more natural and long-lasting solution for joint pain and injuries. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we specialise in PRP treatments for joint pain and injuries. Our team of musculoskeletal professionals use the latest technology and techniques to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness. Further information can be found here: What Is The Difference Between Cortisone & PRP Injection, and what is the most effective? (dynamicregenmedicine.co.uk)
-
How many PRP treatments are required?The number of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatments required varies from patient to patient and depends on the severity of their condition. Typically, patients require 2-3 treatments spaced 3-6 weeks apart. However, some patients may require more or less depending on their specific situation. Our clinical team will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
-
What works best with PRP treatment?For conditions such as arthritis, the majority of patients will carry out a course of up to 3 treatments, alongside hyaluronic acid injection therapy.
-
Is PRP treatment safe?Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we understand the importance of safety when it comes to any medical treatment. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a safe and effective treatment option that has been used for decades to stimulate the body's natural healing process. PRP therapy involves using the patient's own blood to extract platelets, which are then injected into the affected area. Since PRP therapy uses the patient's own blood, there is little to no risk of an allergic reaction or transmission of diseases. Our highly trained medical professionals follow strict safety protocols to ensure that every patient receives the safest and most effective PRP therapy. If you have any concerns about the safety of PRP therapy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
-
Can I drive after PRP treatment?Yes, most of our patients (90%) do usually drive after PRP treatment. However, it is important to note that some patients may experience mild stiffness or discomfort after the procedure, which can affect their ability to drive. In some cases it may be recommended that you arrange for someone to drive you home after your treatment, and avoid driving for at least a few hours after the procedure. If you have any concerns about driving after PRP treatment, please contact us for more information.
-
Does PRP treatment hurt?Only mild discomfort is associated with PRP therapy. It is reported by patients to be very quick, well-tolerated and very short-lived. If needed, a local anaesthetic can be used. Any post treatment soreness again is well tolerated and short-lived.
-
How much does PRP treatment cost?Standard UK prices for PRP injection treatments range from £200-£450. Here at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our PRP treatments range from £185-195. This is because we are the UK distributor for iStem PRP, which fortunately keeps our prices low.
-
Is there any down time with PRP injection treatment?No downtime is associated with PRP treatment. The majority of patient carry about their normal business immediately after treatment. With joint of soft tissue injections, it is recommended to take things relatively easy following treatment and avoid strenuous activity the day if the treatment. Advice and recommendations will be provided from your clinician.
-
Can PRP cause cancer?The growth factors immediately bind to the external surface of the cell membranes of cells in the graft, flap, or wound via transmembrane receptors. The importance of this is that the PRP growth factors never enter the cell or its nucleus, they are not mutagenic, and they act through the stimulation of normal healing, just much faster. Therefore, PRP cannot induce tumour formation and has never done so.” (Marx, RE, 2001), (Schmitz, et al, 2001).
-
How long does it take for PRP injections to work?This depends on what you are treating and the severity of what you are treating. When using PRP for injury treatment, the healing process begins almost immediately. However, reduction in pain can vary from 1-4 weeks. Often, more than one treatment of PRP may be needed. Within hair restoration, we expect to see reduced hair fall in 1-3 months, and improved hair regrowth between 3-6 months.
-
What is PRP therapy used for?PRP therapy, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, is a regenerative medicine treatment that is used to promote healing and reduce pain in various areas of the body. PRP is created by drawing a small amount of the patient's own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the targeted area to stimulate the body's natural healing response. PRP therapy can be used for a variety of conditions, including joint pain, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and even hair loss. It is a safe and effective alternative to surgery or medication for many patients. Find out more.
-
Can PRP cause Infections?As with any injection procedure, there is always associated risks including infection. However, this is extremely uncommon, as full aseptic techniques are used at all times. PRP is bactericidal (a substance that kills bacteria). While platelets are increased in PRP processing so are leukocytes (white cells that fight infection) over 6 to 8 times. This is one reason why PRP is so effective in wound healing. Not only do the increased levels of leukocytes enable the body to fight off infection they have a dual purpose. After platelets initially release their growth factors, leukocytes produce a secondary release of growth factors to promote healing.
-
Is PRP treatment effective?High amounts of good quality evidence-based medicine support the treatment of PRP, along with its safety, efficacy and success. This evidence exists in many different areas of treatment. It is also worth noting that research takes time to expand in a relatively new area and is expensive, but this being said further solid research is being produced regularly. Particularly, the treatment of PRP versus standard conventional drug treatments. See latest clinical research here. Hair restoration here.

-
How does PRP treatment work?This depends on what treatment you are referring to of course, as PRP treatment can treat many different areas. Within musculoskeletal practice, platelets work to stimulate repair and healing. Within hair restoration, platelets within PRP treatment release bioactive growth factors that stimulate dormant hair follicles via a complex biological process. Further information can be found here.

-
How many PRP injection treatments are needed?Results can be obtained from 1 treatment, however, often a course of treatment may be recommended. We go by clinical experience and what the clinical literature recommends, and that is a course of up to 3 treatments, 3-6 weeks apart. Within hair restoration, it is recommended to do a course of 4 treatment initially, 1 treatment per month. Then to work on a maintenance and preservation routine.

-
How long will it take before results can be seen from PRP?Results are normally seen within the first two months. Less shedding of hair has been observed in less than one month with peak effect coming at 4 months to 6 months.
-
Is it normal for hair to shed after PRP treatment?No, it is very uncommon for shedding to occur after treatment, in fact - we expect to see a reduction in hair fall. It is not unusual for shedding to continue or even increase when first starting a treatment like minoxidil eg Regaine, or Finasteride. Hair follicles may increase in growth rate or increase diameter while in the growing stage, but hair can't undergo a noticeable change in size during the early stages. The reason for this is that the follicles must go into dormancy or the telogen “resting” phase so they can begin to restructure their processes to produce thicker, stronger hair. On very few occasions hair can go through 'shock loss' in some people. This, however, should only be temporary. If hair loss does occur, then you would be asked to go through further investigations.
-
Is there any downtime after PRP treatment?No, most patients can resume normal activities on the same day of the treatment. If there is some post treatment soreness, we just say to take it easy until things have settled down.
-
What type of aftercare is required after PRP treatment for hair?The beauty of the treatment is that no aftercare is required other than shampooing your hair the next day. It is not necessary to sleep in any particular position or refrain from any normal activity. Its is just asked to keep the area clean and reduce sweat and physical activity for 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
-
Can PRP be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments?Yes, various different hair loss treatments will only compliment the progress. This is because its mechanism of action is different and when used in combination with treatments such as minoxidil, DHT blockers, or phototherapy. The combination of hair loss treatments often have a synergistic effect. This making it more beneficial in many cases.

Is PRP hair treatment equally effective in both men and women?To date, there have been high amounts of very encouraging positive results in both men and women. Because women have fewer treatment options, they tend to experience less shedding within a few weeks and an improved character to their hair sooner than men, because most men having PRP done are already on other therapies. Most patients, both men and women report an improvement in hair density, and condition and reduced shedding. Most patients will see an improvement in the character of hair quality, thickness and less shedding.
-
What type of hair loss can be treated using PRP therapy?Improvement in hair character, decreased shedding, and increased aesthetic hair density is reported in androgenic alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata. However, we have seen improvements in all types of hair loss.
-
Is PRP treatment good following a hair transplant?Yes, PRP treatment can be very beneficial following a hair transplant. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a concentrated solution of your own blood platelets into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. This treatment can help to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall health of the scalp, which can lead to improved hair growth following a transplant. However, it is important to note that PRP treatment should only be performed by a qualified medical professional.

Cortisone or hyaluronic acid injection?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we offer both cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections for various conditions. Cortisone injections are typically used for reducing inflammation and pain in joints or soft tissue.

While they can provide significant pain relief and reduce inflammation, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. Some uncommon risks and complications associated with cortisone injections include acute post-treatment flare, infection, nerve damage, tendon injury and allergic reactions. Additionally, repeated injections over time can lead to tissue weakening. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of cortisone injections with your clinician before undergoing the procedure.

How long does it take before a cortisone injection starts to work?The effectiveness of a cortisone injection varies from person to person, as well as depending on the condition being treated. Some patients may experience pain relief within a few hours of receiving the injection, while others may not feel the full effects until a few days after the injection.

How long will a cortisone injection reduce pain for?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we utilise cortisone injections as a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for pain relief. The duration of pain relief following a cortisone injection can vary from patient to patient and depends on many factors such as the severity of the condition being treated, the location of the injection, and the individual's overall health. In general, patients can expect to experience pain relief for several weeks to several months after a cortisone injection. Our team of musculoskeletal experts will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that best meets your individual needs and goals.

Can I drive after a cortisone injection?It is generally safe to drive after receiving a cortisone injection, as it will not significantly impair your ability to operate a vehicle. However, some patients may experience temporary dizziness or joint stiffness following the injection, so it is important to listen to your body and refrain from driving if you feel any adverse effects. Additionally, it is recommended that you follow clinician guidelines before engaging in any strenuous activities to allow the medication to fully take effect and reduce the risk of injury. As always, if you have any concerns or questions about your treatment plan, please get in touch.

Some of the common side effects of cortisone injections include: - Mild discomfort and swelling at the injection site - Temporary increase in blood sugar levels - Flushing or redness of the face - Thinning of the skin or skin depigmentation - Weakening of soft tissue (more so, with repeated injections) It is important to note that these side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days. However, if you experience any severe or persistent symptoms after a cortisone injection, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our team of experienced musculoskeletal professionals are dedicated to providing safe and effective treatment options for our patients.

Cortisone or PRP injection?At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we offer both cortisone and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections for the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. The choice between the two depends on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient's needs. Cortisone injections are a type of steroid injection that can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the affected area. They are commonly used for joint pain, tendonitis, and bursitis. However, cortisone injections are not a long-term solution and may have side effects if used too frequently. PRP injections, on the other hand, use the patient's own blood to stimulate healing. The blood is processed to extract platelets, which are then concentrated and injected into the affected area. PRP injections can be beneficial for conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament injuries. They are a natural biological alternative to cortisone injections and may provide longer-lasting relief. Ultimately, the decision between cortisone and PRP injections will depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient's needs. Our experienced team at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your unique situation.
