If you have suffered a knee injury, whether it be chronic or acute, you might be under the impression that the only way to treat it is by knee replacement surgery. However, this is not necessarily the case. In fact, there are many knee replacement alternatives in Summerfield, FL that experts recommend.
PRP Therapy
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma and is a type of therapy that removes a certain amount of the patient’s blood and extracts highly beneficial platelets from it. The platelets are then injected into the targeted area of injury. Since platelets naturally have a high amount of nourishing growth factors in them, they allow the knee (or even other damaged areas) to recover in a more healthful fashion
Hyaluronic Acid
This is a type of therapy that uses an acid that essentially functions like hydraulic fluid but for your body instead of for machinery. In this type of therapy, it is injected into the problem area, where it acts as both a lubricant and a shock absorber for the joints. While hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the human body, for the purposes of this therapy, it is manufactured from outside sources that are non-biologic in nature.
Rengerative Medicine
The aforementioned therapies can be used in conjunction with stem-cell regenerative medicine to deliver a holistic and completely surgical-free method of knee replacement alternatives in Summerfield, FL.
