MyoDerm MD treatments

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy also known as PRP Therapy, encompasses a regenerative medicine approach utilizing PRP injections for healing and tissue regeneration. This advanced medical treatment harnesses the healing potential within a person's own blood to facilitate natural healing processes and tissue repair. The procedure involves drawing a  blood sample from the patient, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate platelets and growth factors, and subsequently injecting the concentrated platelet-rich plasma into the targeted area.  At Myoderrm-MD we focus on high concentrated double spin PRP, as all PRP is not the same.  Most injection sites are guided by high definition ultrasound

Platelet-rich plasma injections have proven effective for various medical and cosmetic purposes, showcasing the versatility of regenerative medicine. These applications range from treating conditions like osteoarthritis and tendon or ligament injuries to promoting hair growth. The underlying principle of PRP is rooted in the belief that the growth factors and bioactive substances within the concentrated plasma stimulate the body's innate healing mechanisms.

The safety of PRP injections is underscored by the use of the patient's own blood, mitigating the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. 

Joint injections, a form of musculoskeletal injections, encompass a range of medical treatments aimed at addressing joint pain and promoting relief. These interventions fall under the broader spectrum of interventional pain management, a field dedicated to providing chronic pain solutions through non-surgical and minimally invasive pain treatments. 

Trigger point injections involves the insertion of a needle into these trigger points, followed by the injection of a carefully selected combination of a local anesthetic, corticosteroid, or saline. This approach is designed to alleviate muscle pain, reduce tension, and relieve spasms, contributing to overall pain relief.

Trigger point injections play a pivotal role in offering patients effective pain relief therapies. This form of orthopedic injection provides localized relief for joint pain and aligns with the principles of interventional pain management by delivering targeted solutions for chronic pain. 

Joint steroid injections including the use of Depo-Medrol are a medical treatments where a corticosteroid medication is injected directly into a joint or muscle region to reduce inflammation and pain. This is a minimally invasive procedure that is often used to treat conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. 

Hyaluronic acid injections for joints, often referred to as viscosupplementation, are a treatment option for individuals with osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the synovial fluid of joints, where it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. In osteoarthritis, the quality and quantity of natural hyaluronic acid in the joint may decrease, contributing to joint pain and stiffness. The injections are administered directly into the affected joint space or soft tissue area, often as a series of injections over several weeks, depending on which type is used. Commonly injected joints include the knee, hip, and shoulder. 

Duration of Effect: The duration of pain relief varies among individuals. While some may experience benefits for several months, others may find that the effects are shorter-lived. Repeat injections may be considered if the initial course provides relief. 

Types of Hyaluronic acid:

Synvisc One -For relief of acute and chronic knee pain.

SportVis - accelerates healing of Soft tissue injuries from a Soft Tissue Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid. For relief of pain and restoration of function.

Cingal- a unique combination of Corticosteroid and Hyaluronic acid for short and long-term relief from knee pain.
