Targeted nonsurgical care. Sports medicine expertise. Regenerative treatment options for osteoarthritis and tendon injuries.

Baptist Health Orthopedic Care offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for select orthopedic patients who may benefit from a nonsurgical approach to pain relief and healing. PRP is used for osteoarthritis and tendon-related injuries, with the flyer noting reduction in inflammation, support for tissue regeneration and improved functional outcomes in mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis compared with hyaluronic acid.

When to Consider Referral
PRP may be appropriate for patients with osteoarthritis affecting the ankle, hip, knee, shoulder or wrist, as well as for patients with tendon injuries who have already tried traditional nonsurgical treatment options.

Conditions Commonly Treated
Referral candidates may include patients with Achilles tendinosis, gluteal tendinosis, lateral or medial epicondylitis, patellar tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinosis and strained muscles such as hamstring injuries.

Specialist Evaluation and Care
