Panhandle Orthopaedics offer PRP therapy for conditions such as tennis elbow Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
This non-surgical therapy is an injection of a concentrated mixture of the patient's own blood. PRP injections have been shown to relieve acute and chronic pain and accelerate healing of injured tissues and joints. Conditions aided by PRP include tennis elbow, golfers elbow, ligament sprains, and rotator cuff tears.

 

Many famous athletes have received PRP for various problems, such as sprained knees and chronic tendon injuries. These types of conditions have typically been treated with medications, physical therapy, or even surgery.

 

Features and Benefits: an outpatient procedure that can aid in faster recovery and return to normal activities where other treatment outcomes have limited results.

Implantable Nerve Stimulators Implantable Neuro Stimulators
for Chronic Full-Body Pain Relief

Implantable Nerve Stimulators are compact, micro-stimulator systems that treat chronic intractable pain by targeting individual nerves throughout your body. The stimulators are implanted via a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure and are operated by a wireless external controller.

 

Features and Benefits: a minimally invasive procedure that can be done in office that can lower patitent costs and is covered by many insurance carriers. This procedure is an effective chronic pain mangement alternative where physical therapy and mediations have not provided a positive outcome.

Panhandle Orthopaedics offer PRP therapy for conditions such as tennis elbow Dupuytren's Contracture Treatment
Dupuytren's Contracture (DC) is caused by a buildup of collagen under the skin. The collagen may thicken and form a tight, rope-like cord. Over time, this cord can tighten and pull the finger toward the palm, preventing fingers from straightening. Panhandle Orthopaedics offers a non-surgical treatment where medicine is injected directly into the cord and works to break it down.

 

Features and Benefits: Procedure performed in office with no general anesthesia required. Starts working as soon as you receive the first injection, with early range of motion and return to active daily lifestyle compared to surgical treatment.

Illustration from Arthrosurface

 

Features and Benefits: a new option that bridges the gap between “first-line” therapies and total joint replacement; patients report outstanding pain relief, rapid recovery and significant range of motion improvements; procedure may be performed on outpatient basis; maintains existing joint biomechanics allowing normal motion.

Features and Benefits: an in-office procedure that, in majority of cases, eliminates the need for an MRI and multiple doctor visits.
