Patients who are looking for regenerative therapy for knees can turn to the experts at Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine for non-surgical treatment options. Our Board-certified physicians, Drs. Daniel Murphy and Arnold Ramirez, lead our team of orthopaedic experts in providing personalized, effective treatments to a variety of patients in Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and surrounding Florida communities, including everyone from professional athletes to regularly active seniors.
At Tampa Orthopaedic, we offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell procedures for patients in the Tampa Bay area who have a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, such as:
- Tendonitis
- Osteoarthritis
- Meniscus tears
- ACL tears
- And other knee joint conditions
PRP therapy and stem cell procedures can help alleviate many of the symptoms associated with these conditions, including pain, stiffness, and swelling. Ultimately, our goal is to not only reduce this discomfort, but also to increase a patient’s mobility and help them return to their active lifestyles.
A PRP procedure uses platelets that have been collected from a patient’s own blood, treated, and then injected into an area of injury, such as a bone, tendon, or ligament, to stimulate healing. Our stem cell treatments use stem cells taken from a patient’s own bone marrow or fatty deposits in the hip or pelvic area, which are also treated and injected. With both of these options, patients face lower risks of immune rejection and disease transmission, and can sometimes delay the need for total knee replacement surgery.
For patients in Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, FL, who would like to learn more about our regenerative therapy for knees, contact Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine today to schedule an appointment and speak with our physicians.
