Platelet-Rich Plasma: Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative, meaning a treatment that supports healing, repair and regeneration…
As opposed to treatments, specifically Corticosteroid Injections, which suppress the healing response, and can lead to degeneration – Which means breakdown and decay.
Dr. Woznica describes the differences he has seen viewing elbows under Diagnostic Ultrasound (also known as a Sonogram)…
Comparing both elbows of a patient, one uninjured vs one which was injured and had received 5-6 Cortisone Shots, he describes the tendons of the uninjured / non-injected side as appearing “pristine”
Whereas, the injured / injected side appeared to be “thickened, irregular and showing signs of partial tears”
