Prolotherapy Excellence
at Explore Health
Relieve Pain without Surgery
Explore Health in Scottsdale, AZ, offers prolotherapy as a non-surgical orthopedic procedure to relieve back pain, knee pain, hip pain, and other joint injuries. Prolotherapy strengthens and repairs ligament laxity and damaged tendon attachments by causing a localized inflammatory response. The treatment aims to replace damaged tissues with healthy ligaments and tendons, promoting healing.
The success rate of prolotherapy is high, with studies showing significant improvement, especially for back pain. Patients with joint instability, reduced range of motion, weakness, pain, swelling, and muscle spasms are considered good candidates. The procedure involves multiple injections during each session, and the number of sessions varies based on the extent of tissue damage.
Preparation for prolotherapy includes bringing diagnostic imaging, avoiding certain medications, and eating before treatment. The injections can cause tenderness, and the healing process may take multiple sessions. The clinic offers various types of prolotherapy injections, including Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell-derived exosome injections.
Patient testimonials highlight the effectiveness of prolotherapy, with individuals experiencing pain relief and canceling scheduled surgeries. Conventional medical experts, like former US Surgeon General Dr. Everett Koop, have acknowledged the benefits of prolotherapy for musculoskeletal diseases.
Explore Health operates on a fee-for-service basis, providing itemized service summaries for potential insurance reimbursement. The clinic also assists patients involved in motor vehicle accidents with coordination of care and potential coverage through personal injury claims.
Dr. Nelson, with over 24 years of experience, emphasizes the importance of choosing a prolotherapy doctor with expertise and experience. The clinic offers consultations to determine if prolotherapy is a suitable option for individuals seeking relief from joint pain and injuries.
Dr. Nelson's Mastery
in PRP Therapy
Elevate Your Healing Journey
Explore Health, led by Dr. William Nelson in Scottsdale and Flagstaff, AZ, offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as a non-surgical solution for acute or chronic back and joint pain. With 25 years of experience, Dr. Nelson utilizes regenerative injections to heal injuries to ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules.
PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and injecting it precisely into the damaged ligament or tendon attachments using ultrasound guidance. This triggers an inflammatory response, initiating the body's natural healing cascade to regenerate and repair tissues.
Dr. Nelson, having successfully treated thousands of patients since 1996, emphasizes the skill required for accurate diagnosis and optimal injection placement. The therapy is suitable for various musculoskeletal conditions, including low back pain, sciatica, hip pain, ACL tears, tennis elbow, and more.
PRP therapy requires no surgical incisions and offers a permanent repair to tissues without extended downtime. While the renewed and strengthened tissue may age and potentially face re-injury, successful procedures can be repeated later.
Patients, including elite athletes and active adults, can benefit from PRP therapy to regain health and exercise ability without relying on pain medications or resorting to surgery. The therapy is effective for wound and surgical incision healing as well.
Candidates for PRP therapy are those with acute injuries, chronic pain, or limited mobility due to various musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Nelson determines candidacy through a comprehensive physical exam and medical history review.
The PRP collection involves a simple in-office blood draw, followed by centrifugation to isolate growth factors and platelets. The concentrated PRP is then precisely injected into the damaged joint, ligament, tendon, or joint capsule under ultrasound guidance.
After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort lasting a few days. Over the next weeks to months, new tissue growth stimulated by the PRP injection gradually improves pain, range of motion, and strength. Benefits may continue to enhance for up to 12 months.
To determine if PRP therapy is suitable, individuals can contact Explore Health for a consultation or book an appointment online.
