PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) is an amazing therapy used by golf professional Tiger Woods, Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward, Toronto Maple Leaf Gary Roberts and many other professional athletes. This therapy is now available in Wasilla, Alaska.
Dr. Martin says, Over 90% of sports injuries dont require surgery so why go to a surgeon?
He is introducing to Alaska residents a non-surgical approach that treats acute and chronic tendon and ligament injuries. Many professional athletes personally choose this amazing therapy!
Platelet-RichPlasma (PRP) is an autologous platelet concentrate. It harnesses your bodys own NATURAL HEALING POWER to stimulate the repair of your damaged tissues. Naturally occurring healing proteins and growth factors in your blood enhance your bodys own natural repair process.
How does the Platelet-Rich-Plasma work?
A small amount of your own blood is withdrawn. Then it is highly concentrated by high speed spinning in an advanced, state-of-the-art centrifuge.
This concentrated blood is then injected directly into your damaged tissue. Ultrasound is used to make sure the concentrated blood arrives at exactly the correct spot to optimize and speed your healing.

If physical therapy, cortisone injections, chiropractic, medications or even surgery have not restored you to the levels of health and pain-free functioning you desire, then PRP may be the therapy you have been desperately searching for.
Prolotherapy/Regenerative Injection Therapy
This therapy is an injection technique administered in the office. It relieves chronic pain caused by damage to your underlying ligament or tendon structures.
It involves injecting a small amount of Novocain and dextrose (a form of sugar) or similar solutions, directly into damaged area. The solution stimulates your bodys own natural healing and repair processes.
The concept behind prolotherapy dates as far back as the ancient Greeks. Hippocrates actually used a similar therapy to treat athletes with unstable shoulders.
He described touching the tip of a slender hot metal rod to the damaged ligaments. This cauterized the ligaments causing them to tighten up.
It is interesting to note that many current Orthopedic Surgeons use similar techniques today. Lasers and heat probes provide similar benefits.
Modern prolotherapy traces its roots to the early 20th century. George Hackett MD, a surgeon from Ohio, started treating patients with chronic low back pain. He injected his patients ligaments and the surrounding areas. His patients improved 80% of the time.
