Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative medicine technique used to treat musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. Commonly treated injuries include osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament sprains, muscle strains, and other soft tissue injuries. PRP can be a helpful alternative to surgery or long-term medication use.

The procedure involves drawing a vial of blood from the patient and then placing it in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at a high speed to separate and concentrate the platelets. Platelets are then injected into the injured area(s). Platelets are rich in growth factors which may assist in stimulating tissue repair by enhancing healing in reducing inflammation.

BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. It’s a treatment that uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally produces. BHRT is commonly used to relieve symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as those that occur during menopause, perimenopause, and andropause (sometimes called “male menopause”).

Bioidentical hormones can help improve energy, mood, sleep, mental clarity, libido, and more. They’re often derived from natural plant sources and customized to fit your body’s specific needs, making them a personalized alternative to traditional hormone therapy.

If you're experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance, BHRT may be an effective option to help you feel like yourself again.

Osteopathic medicine emphasizes a holistic approach to healthcare.   There are 4 Tenets of Osteopathy:

1. The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind and spirit.

2. The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.

3. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

4. Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation and the interrelationship of structure and function.

   Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is a hands-on approach to diagnosing, treating, and preventing illness and injury. OMM is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, such as musculoskeletal pain and joint dysfunction, as well as to improve overall health and mobility.  It is a gentle, noninvasive approach such as stretching, massage, manipulation to help restore proper alignment to the body structures to improve function and optimize healing.

A hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is a treatment to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis. It is sometimes referred to as a viscosupplementation (“visco”) because it supplements the natural synovial fluid of the joint, which can become thinner and less effective due to arthritis. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in joint fluid that helps lubricate and cushion the joint. When injected, it can:

• Improve joint lubrication

• Reduce inflammation

• Enhance shock absorption

• Relieve pain and stiffness

Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, enhancing circulation, reducing muscle tension, and supporting the body’s natural healing response. Unlike massage, which applies pressure by pushing down into the muscles, cupping works by lifting up, creating space and encouraging blood flow in a different way. This approach is often better tolerated by patients who are sensitive to deep pressure or traditional massage.
