Plasma Rich Platelet Therapy

We are introducing a next generation injection procedure to our practice, which can help treat a range of orthopaedic conditions.

Plasma Rich Platelet therapy, essentially accelerates and aids the healing of injured tissues over the body by first taking blood from the patient. This gets placed in a machine to separate the blood into the different types of blood cells and further separate the platelet rich part to be mixed with local anaesthetic. This is prepared in an injection to be injected into the area of the injury.

Conditions that we can treat:

  • Tennis Elbow
  • Knee Arthritis
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Bursitis
  • Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Shoulder Arthritis
  • Golfer’s Elbow
  • Impingement Syndrome Of The Shoulder

The Benefits:

  • Your own blood is used therefore there is no risk of any disease transmission.
  • May eliminate the needs for more aggressive treatments, such as long term medication or surgery.
  • A remarkable return of function to the injured area.
  • Shorter recovery times.

How does it work?

Blood is a lot more than just a red liquid running through your arteries and vessels, it is in fact a very complex tissue. It contains six different types of cells all of which have different functions varying from carrying blood cells around the body to producing antibodies to give us immunity to disease. However, platelet rich plasma therapy is solely concerned with the platelets in the blood. Platelets are the smallest cells and responsible for releasing chemicals to make the blood clot and initiate repair.

The body’s first response to a soft tissue injury is to deliver platelet cells, therefore PRP jump starts and significantly strengthens the body’s natural healing process by increasing the concentration of platelets and growth factors at the site of injury by up to 500%, that’s five times the normal number of platelets/growth factors.

Tim Lodge: A Journey of Resilience, Recovery, and Triumph

My name is Tim Lodge, and I am proud to represent Great Britain as a Paralympic canoeist. At 53 years old, I reflect on a journey that has been anything but ordinary one defined by perseverance, transformation, and the unwavering belief that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. I was born with a gross talipes disability. By the age of 10, I had already undergone 22 operations and endured 59 anaesthetics. My left foot alone carries 13 pins and plates a daily reminder of the challenges I’ve faced from the very beginning. Despite this, I always believed in pushing forward. Canoeing was a passion of mine as a teenager, but life took me down a different path. For over two decades, I worked in the corporate world. Then, in 2013, everything changed. I received an unexpected call from my former canoeing coach, who asked if I’d consider training as a Paralympic athlete. At that time, I was far from being in shape, but something inside me said “yes.” That moment sparked a transformation that would define the rest of my life. Re-entering the world of elite sport after 20 years was no small feat. But with dedication and […]

Unlock Longevity with the Power of Personalized B Vitamins –Buzz with the B’s !

What if your daily dose of B vitamins could do more than just boost energy? At Levitas Clinics, we believe personalized B vitamin support can be the key to greater longevity, helping you feel vibrant and youthful no matter your age. With a unique, genetic-based approach, we tailor your B vitamin regimen to fit your body’s specific needs, unlocking the full potential of these essential nutrients. Why B Vitamins Are the Key to Lasting Energy and Vitality B vitamins—including B12, B6, and folate—are fundamental for: Sustained Energy: Helping your body convert food into lasting energy. Mental Clarity and Mood: Supporting focus, memory, and a balanced mood. Heart and Cellular Health: Maintaining circulation and cellular repair, vital for long-term health. But here’s the twist: not everyone’s body uses B vitamins in the same way. Our genetics play a big role in how well we absorb and use them, and understanding your unique genetic “blueprint” can unlock optimal results. How Your Genes Influence Your Vitamin Needs MTHFR Gene and Folate (B9) Some people have a gene variant that affects how their body processes folate, a crucial B vitamin. Think of MTHFR as a “gate” that folate must pass through. For those with […]
