PRP Injections Specialist in Baltimore, MD

PRP uses the patient’s blood to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and promote growth in injured tissues. Concentrated platelets in the PRP are rich in growth factors and cytokines, which are crucial in accelerating tissue repair and cell regeneration.

In our clinic, we often utilize PRP injections as an effective treatment for injuries to tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. These ailments are common among athletes but can also occur due to the normal aging process or general wear and tear. PRP injections have anti-inflammatory properties, which can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process, thus improving the function of the injured area.

We believe in harnessing the body’s regenerative potential to provide non-surgical treatment options for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. While the use of PRP injections is still being studied, we have seen promising results in our practice and are dedicated to offering this innovative treatment option to our patients.

At Nasseri Clinic, we are proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. This innovative regenerative medicine is used to promote healing and help lessen inflammation throughout the body. Some steps are mentioned here to be followed for PRP injections at our clinic to ensure optimal results and minimize discomfort.

Pre-Injection Consultation:

• Schedule a consultation with Dr. Nasseri to discuss the PRP injection procedure, set realistic expectations, and understand any potential risks.
• Share your entire medical history, including any conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking.

Hydration and Dietary Recommendations:

• Drink plenty of water in the days preceding to your PRP procedure. Unless advised otherwise, aim for eight glasses of water per day.
• Abstain from alcohol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) before your PRP procedure.
• Eat a meal before your appointment to prevent possible lightheadedness due to the blood draw.

Blood Draw and PRP Preparation:

• At our clinic, we will perform a blood draw to collect a sufficient amount of your blood.
• Next, the platelet-rich. plasma (PRP) is extracted from this blood from the other components.

Lifestyle Modifications:

• To ensure optimal results, avoid smoking for at least a few days before your PRP injection.
• Engage in light exercise or physical activity before you visit our clinic to improve blood circulation.
• Get adequate rest the night before the injection.
• Refrain from strenuous activities or heavy lifting post-injection to prevent possible strain or injury.

Additional Considerations:

• Bring your medical insurance information and any necessary paperwork to your appointment.
• If you are on any blood-thinning medication, discuss this with Dr. Nasseri or our healthcare team.
• Remember, these are general guidelines, and our team may provide you with additional or different instructions based on your health history and specific procedure.

PRP therapy is a significant part of our approach to patient care and healing, often requiring multiple sessions to deliver the most beneficial outcomes.

The number of PRP treatments a patient may require can greatly differ based on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s response to treatment. This period between treatments allows your body to react to each therapy and initiate its natural healing process.

At our clinic, Dr. Nasser Nasseri’s recommendation plays a crucial role in determining the number of PRP treatments you might need. Based on your progress, Dr. Nasseri might adjust your treatment plan to best suit your individual needs.

Follow-up treatments may be recommended every 6-12 months to maintain the benefits of PRP therapy.

PRP therapy uses the body’s healing mechanisms to promote long-term recovery.

Immediately after a PRP injection, the platelets release growth factors and cytokines that stimulate the migration and activation of healing cells. This reduces inflammation and initiates tissue repair, potentially leading to an improvement in pain levels within a few days.

In the subsequent weeks or months, the growth factors in PRP promote the growth of new cells. For musculoskeletal conditions like tendon injuries or osteoarthritis, initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, with most patients seeing maximum benefit six to nine months after treatment.

The patient’s overall health and age, the number of PRP injections received, and any underlying medical conditions can influence the healing timeline.

At Nasser Nasseri Clinic, we encourage regular follow-up appointments to assess the healing progress and adjust the treatment strategy as needed. Multiple treatments may be necessary for certain conditions, and the timeline can vary based on individual healing rates.
