PRP and regenerative care
PRP uses a patient’s own blood to prepare a concentrated platelet product that is injected into a selected treatment area. Sobel Spine and Sports uses PRP for certain tendon, ligament, joint, and sports-related conditions and discusses it as an emerging option for selected spinal pain problems. Whether PRP is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, prior treatment, medical history, and treatment goals. Patients should discuss the evidence, expected timeline, alternatives, cost, and potential risks for their particular condition.
What to expect
An initial consultation generally lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on complexity. Patients are asked to bring identification, insurance information, a current medication list, relevant imaging, and records from previous treatment when available. The practice reports that many appointments can be scheduled within the same week, although availability varies.
