What is Regenerative Medicine? Regenerative Medicine utilizes the patient’s own cells to heal and repair damaged tissues. A jack russell terrier running towards the camera with a tennis ball in its mouth, ears perked up, against a softly blurred green background exemplifies typical pet behavior.

A golden retriever lies on green grass facing left, with a sunny backdrop and visible tree line, looking happy with its tongue out, exemplifying ideal pet behavior guidance.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma? Platelet Rich Plasma is a highly concentrated sample of blood that has been processed to contain a high number of platelets in the fluid portion of the blood known as plasma. A happy Australian cattle dog with a speckled coat and striking blue eyes, panting with its tongue out, in a lush green outdoor setting, awaits the expertise of veterinary care Houston.

Why are platelets used as a therapy?

Platelets are potent cells that contain a reservoir of messenger proteins known as growth factors. When a vessel is damaged in the body, platelets are the first-in-line responders to go to the area and stop any further damage from occurring. Once at the site of damage, platelets release growth factors which signal to other cells in the body to repair the damaged tissue.

When other areas of the body are damaged but have poor/low blood circulation as seen in joints with arthritis, platelets are unable to make it to the area to heal the damaged tissue. By concentrating the platelets and injecting them directly into the area of injury/damage, we are able to harness the beneficial effects of the growth factors and place them in an area where they are needed most.

What are the benefits of using Platelet Rich Plasma?
  • Minimally invasive
  • No side-effects since it uses the patient’s own blood
  • Provides lubrication of the joint space
  • Preserves the remaining cartilage of the joint
  • Increases natural production of protective compounds within the joint including Hyaluronic Acid, Chondroitin Sulfate and Collagen
  • Decreases inflammation which in turn reduces pain
  • Can be used as a long-term treatment for chronic conditions
