These procedures are some of the newest treatments available today. They offer patients with a minimally invasive option to help relieve the pain of arthritis or injury and improve your function.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, also referred to widely as PRP therapy, is used to enhance and accelerate soft tissue healing. About 98% of the indications for treatment include injuries to the tendons or ligaments. It can be injected both in a clinic setting and in an operative setting as an adjunct to surgery, as a way to promote quicker healing. PRP can be injected into the spine or any joint such as the knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, wrist, fingers or thumb, ankles and toes.

Some of the common conditions that benefit from PRP therapy include:

Platelet Rich Plasma is a product of your own blood. Your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Platelets are best known for helping your blood clot. However, platelets also contain growth factors, which when injected into ligaments or tendons can aid in the healing of injuries.

The blood plasma contains the platelets and it is this material that is processed in our lab and spun down to extract the platelets that have the healing properties that can be used to inject into injured sites to help promote healing. Panorama physicians use x-ray or ultrasound guidance when providing PRP injections. Research has shown that without this guidance the actual site of injury is missed more than 5% of the time.

You may not feel an immediate difference after treatment because with PRP therapy the growth factors bind to the cell surface to signal growth. By signaling growth, growth factors and therefore platelet rich plasma helps to catalyze healing processes within the body. The healing may continuously increase for up to a year.

PRP Therapy is a procedure done in the office. The regenerative medicine team will meet with you to discuss your injury or pain and decide if PRP would be an effective treatment for you.

When you come in to the office for PRP therapy, you will have your blood drawn and sent to our lab. In the lab the blood is put into a centrifuge and spun down to separate the plasma and concentrate the platelets. We are able to analyze and test the final preparation so that we have the highest quality sample prepared for your injection. Once the actual PRP is prepared, the doctor will inject this preparation of your own cells back into the area of injury.

PRP therapy is designed to heal rather than cover symptoms, therefore unless re-injury occurs, the effects of the PRP therapy may last a lifetime. When the body has an extra boost to heal from the platelet rich plasma, the body heals quicker and areas of the body that could formerly not heal are prompted to heal.

How much does PRP Therapy cost?

Some insurance providers currently cover the cost of PRP therapy. For others this will be a self-pay procedure. At Panorama we offer the treatment at the best possible value to our patients with very competitive pricing:

Panorama has invested in a sophisticated biologics laboratory at the Golden Office. This lab is currently one of only a handful of labs around the country. This new, FDA approved laboratory is used for processing both Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cells. We utilize the newest technologies that were developed by Greyledge Technologies in Vail, Colorado.

Customized Therapy

Because we have our own lab, Panorama offers patients customized therapy, as each preparation is analyzed for platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells (among 27 parameters), and then reviewed by your physician prior to treatment.

This knowledge permits us to make adjustments based on our collective experience. No other system or technology allows for this kind of capability to personalize your treatment.

Collecting Outcomes Data

Having our own lab also allows us to process stem cells and PRP in a way that we can control the quality of the specimen and know exactly the amount of biologic that is in a specific preparation or sample. In addition to providing higher quality injections, it also leads us to the ability to measure and study outcomes for these new break-trough procedures. It is our goal to collect highly reliable outcome data and to share that date with patients in a way that is 100% transparent.

The Stem Cell and PRP programs at Panorama Orthopedics are led byDr. Karen KnightTogether with her partner,Dr. Michael Hornerthey provide the full spectrum of stem cell therapy and PRP options that can be used to help treat arthritis, back pain and limited injuries affecting the muscles, joints, tendons or cartilage, particularly if those injuries are not healing quickly on their own or there is poor blood flow to the area. In many cases, stem cell therapy can give patients the relief they need and help them avoid surgery.

Dr Knight and Dr Horner are both dedicated to providing patients with the compassionate care needed to help improve function and reduce pain, without surgery. Stem cells also can be used for surgical patients to help reduce recovery time. Panoramas highly qualified surgeons can perform stem cell therapy at the end of almost any repair or reconstructive surgery. It is a promising treatment for patients who want to more fully and quickly recover postoperatively.

That is why Panoramas team of doctors includes orthopedic experts who specialize in a wide range of services, from pain management to regenerative medicine to outpatient surgery.

Your body has an incredible capacity to heal, but sometimes it needs a boost.

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that generally takes an hour from start to finish. The procedure is not a surgery, but patients receive a sedative for comfort whileit is done at Panoramas surgery center in Golden, Colorado

After anesthesia is given through an IV, our experienced doctors draw the stem cells from the bone marrow in the pelvis. Those cells are then concentrated in a lab and injected at the site of the arthritis or injury.

Stem cell therapy is a low-risk procedure. Patients are asked not to do high-impact activities such as running and jumping for a short period of time following the treatment, but otherwise are able to go about their normal routines. The stem cells do the rest, going to work to help repair the damage that was caused either by wear and tear or through an injury.

After that, all that is needed is a band-aid and some rest while the stem cells adapt to the needs of their new environment.

We pride ourselves on providing personalized care to all of our patients. That starts with a full orthopedic evaluation with one of our doctors to assess your needs and evaluate your treatment options.

In addition to our pain management team, we also have specialists who focus on specific areas of the body including the spine, shoulder, hand, elbow, hip, knee, foot and ankle. Dont put your health on hold call to make an appointment today!
