We are proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy as one of the latest, non-surgical treatment option for people with chronic pain & joint injuries. Our esteemed orthopedic surgeons are known for using innovative biologic treatment methods in sports medicine. With PRP therapy, we can heal your injury and eliminate painful and disruptive symptoms surrounding your joints.
PRP therapy is an intra-articular treatment that uses an injection of the patient’s own concentrated blood platelets. Blood is first drawn from the patient and spun in a centrifuge at a high speed so that platelets and plasma are separated out. Some of the plasma is removed, and the remaining plasma is mixed back in with the platelets. This forms a very “platelet-rich plasma” solution which is then injected back into the patient’s injured area. Growth factors are then released, which promote a natural immune response to repair the injured area. Stem cells and other cells can then begin to repair the injury at an accelerated rate.
At Ortho Sport & Spine, the following conditions may be treated with PRP Therapy:
Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians is pleased to offer our patients an additional conservative treatment option for their shoulder, elbow, hip, knee or elbow pain. It is a safe, in-office procedure that effectively relieves pain without anesthesia or surgery.

Jules F.Surgery was a success my left knee is fully functional again. Langer and his staff was very helpful through this entire process they assigned me a top physical therapist Cara which was great at helping me to improve now just up to me to continue to condition myself back to the way I was physically before the injury and hopefully I never have to endure any future injuries that lead to surgery. Overall a great help and experience after surgery was completed. Thank You to Langer and his staff.

Ricky J.Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians are excellent in the work they do. They take their time with each patient and make sure you walk away with an understanding of exactly what you're going through. I have been a patient here twice and I could 100% assure you that you will have a great experience. Further the physicians are very knowledgeable and experienced at what they do. Moreover, the entire staff are welcoming and accommodating to your needs. I work in Entertainment, and have appeared several times on television (Google "David Wells and Ricky Johnson). I recommend and trust Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians.

Whether you are treating a bout of arthritis or calming the discomfort of a sprained ankle, using heat or cold to provide relief can be helpful. Knowing what to use and when is important for the best results. Here are some ideas to help make those painful conditions less discomforting.
There is nothing hilarious about whacking your funny bone. In fact, the funny bone is not a bone. It is called that because of the funny – as in hard to describe – feeling you get when that part of the elbow is hit. What you are actually hitting is the ulnar nerve that runs from your neck to your hand. This nerve innervates muscles in the forearm and hand. The end of the nerve has two branches. The little finger and half the ring finger are innervated by these branches.
