Dr. Ehrlich utilizes MSK ultrasound technology to enhance both the diagnostic and treatment aspects of care of musculosketelal disorders. By using ultrasound imagery in real-time, pathology of the musculoskeletal system is treated more effectively by visualizing the region being injected.

Nerve hydro-dissection, though sounding somewhat frightening, is actually a very safe and relatively easy treatment for the patient to undergo. When nerves, for example the median nerve in carpal tunnel, become entrapped by structures around them the problems which result can be many and varied but usually neuropathic pain is at the top of the list.

Prolotherapy<\/h1>\n

Prolotherapy is a safe and natural form of therapy which stimulates the proliferation (\u201cprolo\u201d) of new collagen cells and connective tissue. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Cartilage, ligaments, muscles and tendons comprise connective tissue.\u00a0 A safe solution primarily consisting of dextrose and a lidocaine or procaine is injected into the site of trauma or injury and this controlled irritation produces an inflammatory response which sparks the healing and repair of the damaged or dysfunctional tissue.<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ next_background_color=”#f1f5f7″ admin_label=”What is Platelet Rich Plasma?

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy<\/h1>\n

What is Platelet Rich Plasma?<\/h3>\n

(for pertinent studies on PRP go to articles under resources)<\/p>\n

Platelet Rich Plasma, PRPis blood plasma with highly concentrated platelets. Platelets are a specialized type of blood cell involved in injury healing. Platelets also contain large reservoirs of natural growth factors. While a normal concentration of platelets circulating in your blood is 200,000 per micro liter, the platelet count in Platelet Rich Plasma can exceed 2 million platelets per micro liter. To be considered PRP the platelet count must be 4x or greater above baseline.\u00a0 Because of the highly regenerative properties of platelets they can be injected to areas of damaged connective tissue to stimulate greater healing.\u00a0 One can think of this process as a grafting of sorts where systemic platelets are gathered and concentrated into the patient\u2019s own plasma and injected back to these areas of the body needing assistance with healing.\u00a0 PRP is superior to Prolotherapy with the principle biologic component being dextrose as the efficacy of the procedure is less contingent upon the available blood supply to an area such as in thick ligaments or markedly fibrotic tissue.<\/p>\n

When concentrating platelets, 7 fundamental protein growth factors (also called cytokines) are concentrated.<\/p>\n

Platelet-derived growth factors \u2013 PDGFaa, PDGFab, PDGFbb
Transforming growth factors \u2013 TGFb1, TGFb2 Vascular endothelial growth factors \u2013 VEGF
Epithelial growth factors \u2013 EGF<\/p>\n

This concentrate also contains 3 proteins in the blood to act as cell adhesion molecules: fibrin, fibronectin, and vitronectin. Clinical data has shown that the concentration of growth factors may help optimized conditions for bone healing.<\/p>\n

How is Platelet Rich Plasma made?
<\/strong>Platelet Rich Plasma is collected by drawing 20 \u2013 60 cc of blood (500 cc is taken in blood bank donations), the blood is then put into the Harvest SmartPReP\u00ae2 Platelet Concentrate System and spun down separating the red blood cells, plasma and concentrating the platelets.<\/p>\n

Plasma
<\/strong>Is Platelet Rich Plasma Safe?
Since Platelet Rich Plasma is Autologous (from the self) there is no chance of rejection or adverse effects.<\/p>\n
