Plasma-rich Platelet Injections

Posted: Dec 29, 2011 by RuthAnn.Cooper

The New York Post has disclosed that Alex Rodriguez (A Rod) of the New York Yankees, recently traveled to Germany for plasma-rich platelet injections to treat his right knee and left shoulder following a recommendation  from Los Angeles Lakers star, Kobe Bryant. 

I perform a similar technique to augment healing of tendon tears or chronic tendonitis in the foot and ankle.  Utilized in the correct clinical situation, several of my patients have experienced resolution for their symptoms.  Autologous Platelet Conditioned Plasma/Platelets with Ultrasound Guided Injection (ACP) also called (APC) is a procedure I have been performing for several years with a high rate of success.  Many patients appreciate this alternative to surgery with reduced pain and faster recovery time.
