At Animal Hospital of Pea Ridge, we are proud to offer non-surgical regenerative medicine for our four-legged friends. Regenerative medicine works by replacing or regenerating cells and tissues to restore them to normal functionality. We do this using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy which helps your pet’s body to heal itself.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
PRP injections are created using stem cells from your pet’s own blood to help reduce the chance of an adverse reaction. This therapy uses a sterile, closed system in order to ensure the safety of your pet. Our team will draw your pet’s blood and spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the stem cells. Once concentrated, it will be injected into the injured area. This boost of stem cells from your pet’s own body ensures that your furry friend can heal faster than ever before.
This therapy has been used successfully for skin, bone, and soft tissue injuries. It is also great to use for wounds that are having trouble healing.
This all-natural, drug-free approach to pain relief will help to get your pet back to the activities he or she enjoys without the risks associated with surgery and/or various medications. For more information about the regenerative medicine treatments we offer or to schedule an appointment for your pet, please call us today at (850) 772-0662.
