Joint Injections | Jupiter, FL

Degenerative joint disease such as arthritis causes extreme pain, inflammation, and impairment, and there is no fix-all treatment option for this condition. Every year, more than 3 million Americans are told they have arthritis, and many of them live with the everyday discomfort and stiffness that comes with the disease. Invasive joint replacement surgery is a common therapy for severe arthritic pain, but it comes with a high level of risk. Joint stiffness, weakness, and immobility are all possible side effects of surgery that may last for the rest of one's life. Before deciding to have surgery for your arthritis or other joint mobility issues, it is recommended to look into non-surgical treatment options.

During the joint's motions, friction between bones causes mild to moderate sensations that some patients may experience. This is because cartilage tissue in the joint has degraded. Cartilage works as a shock absorber to keep the bones from rubbing against each other. When there is not enough cartilage, bone-on-bone contact may be associated with joint irritation and inflammation in some individuals. Because arthritis is a degenerative disease, the cartilage in the joints degenerates with time, making it more and more challenging to move. At CARE in Jupiter, FL, there are non-invasive options to joint replacement surgery, including PRF and exosomes. These joint injection therapy options are considered generally safe and are being studied for their potential to support joint health and comfort.

Types of Joint Injections

PRF Injections

Plasma is a liquid that makes up a portion of your blood. Red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets are the three primary solid components of the blood. Platelets are essential in the formation of blood clots and release countless growth factors, which may play a role in the body’s natural recovery processes.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are a mixture of platelets and plasma with a high proportion of platelets. Platelets make up just six percent of a regular blood sample, whereas platelet-rich plasma has 94 percent of platelets and five to ten times the quantity of growth factors seen in normal blood, which may support tissue function and recovery in some individuals.

Exosomes Therapy

Exosome treatment, unlike stem cell therapy, does not entail using donor cells from your own body. Instead, exosomes are isolated and sterilized from donated human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The Exosome solution includes lipids, messenger RNA, microRNA, signaling cytokines, and useful proteins. IV therapy or direct injection in the treated region are also options for exosome therapy. Exosomes contain growth factors that are being studied for their potential to support cellular communication and recovery.

Research is ongoing regarding whether exosome therapy may support cellular processes and overall tissue function.

Your Joint Injection Procedure

Dr. Robert Talac will start by taking a small blood sample. The blood is then spun for approximately 10 minutes in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelets from the other blood components. A local anesthetic is then used to anesthetize the affected area of your body. Your blood's platelet-rich fraction is then injected into the damaged region. Dr. Talac may employ ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate needle insertion in certain circumstances.
