PRP for Knee Pain in Fort Lauderdale
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections by Fellowship-Trained Sports Medicine Specialist Dr. George Caldwell
Looking for PRP for knee pain in Fort Lauderdale? Dr. George Caldwell offers advanced double-spin PRP for arthritis, meniscus injuries, and tendon disorders.
What Is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created using a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain proteins and growth factors involved in tissue repair and healing. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the injured area of the knee to stimulate the body's natural healing response. Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction to the injected material.
What Knee Conditions Can PRP Treat?
PRP is often considered for patients with:
-
Mild to moderate knee arthritis
-
Early cartilage degeneration
-
Meniscus injuries that do not require surgery
-
Chronic ligament injuries, including some MCL injuries
-
Persistent knee pain after conservative treatment
-
Every patient is different.
During your consultation, Dr. Caldwell will determine whether PRP is likely to help or whether another treatment would offer a better outcome.
