Joint Procedures at Laser Touch Medical Clinic

In addition to being highly skilled in aesthetic medicine, the physicians at Laser Touch Medical Clinic are board-certified specialists in Physical Medicine and Joint Rehabilitation. They assess and evaluate each patient's specific situation before providing personalized recommendations for a treatment plan tailored to their goals. Here are the types of joint therapy procedures performed by our physicians at all three of our locations.

Benefits of PRP Joint Rehabilitation

  • Reduced pain and inflammation

  • Improved joint mobility and function

  • Enhanced tissue healing and regeneration

  • Potential delay or avoidance of surgery

Corticosteroid Shots

Corticosteroid shots are medical procedures used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in various parts of the body. This involves injecting a corticosteroid medication, often combined with a local anesthetic, directly into a specific area of inflammation or pain, such as a joint, tendon, bursa, or muscle.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy for joint rehabilitation is a regenerative treatment used to promote healing and reduce pain in injured or degenerated joints, such as the knee, shoulder, hip, or ankle. Here's how PRP joint rehabilitation typically works:

  1. Blood Collection: A small sample of the patient's blood is drawn, usually from the arm, similar to a routine blood test.

  2. Centrifugation: The blood sample is processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components.

  3. Preparation and Activation: The PRP is prepared and activated to release growth factors essential for tissue repair and regeneration.

  4. Injection: The activated PRP solution is injected directly into the affected joint under imaging guidance to ensure precise placement.

  5. Stimulation of Healing: The growth factors and proteins in the PRP promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body's natural healing response within the joint.

Corticosteroid shots and PRP injections are commonly used to treat conditions including:

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Tendinitis (e.g., tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendinitis)

  • Bursitis (e.g., hip bursitis, shoulder bursitis)

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Trigger finger

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
