With one injection of your own plasma enriched blood sample, years of knee joint pain will not only subside, but there is a 90% chance that it will never return.
Imagine being able to get back to your normal everyday activities, painfree.Today, Dr. Torres Jr. is only one of two physicians in the state of Texas to offer patients this advanced, life-changing procedure. “I got into Internal Medicine so I can treat the whole patient,” said Dr. Torres Jr. who was named “Physician of the Year” by Patient Preferred Physicians Network, 2021. “Orthopedists are not offering this to patients and I know why,” he explained. “This treatment can help you avoid surgery all together.”
PRP has long been popularized for use in cosmetic procedures to regenerate damaged skin leaving patients with a more youthful appearance. This same-day procedure, in essense, produces healing properties from within the patients own blood for fast-acting results.
This innovative treatment uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. The procedure is done in three easy steps in which blood is drawn from the patient, processed in a centerfuge to separate the platelets from the plasma, and then the enriched blood is injected into the desired area for treatment. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.
The PRP procedure promises zero downtime and 0% risk of infection. One out of seven patients who have recieved treatment from Dr. Torres Jr. has reported being pain-free for up to 18 months post treatment! The PRP’s anti-inflammatory properties help decrease inflammation while accelerating the healing process.
