Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)

At TPC, our team of physicians specialize in Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to manage chronic joint pain. PRP is a concentrated blood sample that contains high levels of platelets, a critical component of the wound healing process. Platelets contain growth factors that are responsible for stimulating tissue generation and repair.

Platelets for Healing

This treatment can be used for all arthritic joints, damaged ligaments and tendons around the body. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is ideal for joint injuries, sports related injuries, and joint deterioration.

Our platelets have growth factors that are used by our body to heal cuts. These growth and healing factors can be used now for improving the symptoms of OSTEOARTHRITIC JOINT PAIN, LIGAMENTS and TENDONS INJURIES in many professional athletes and get them back to their daily professional activities. There are many patients who have early osteoarthritis of KNEES, and they are looking for ways to help their condition and avoid rapid degradation. There are also many patients with advanced osteoarthritis of their knees who are not fit for surgery knee replacement due to their age. These patients can use this treatment to reduce their symptoms and improve their function.

In this procedure 30 to 60 ml of your own blood will be drawn and put into a special centrifuge. By spinning this blood, the platelets will be separated and concentrated on one side of the special container. We use the newest KEY PRP machine because we believe it produces a very high concentration of platelets.
 
The highly concentrated platelet plasma, or Platelet Rich Plasma will then be drawn into a syringe and would be injected into the affected sites of the body. We use ultrasound and if needed X-Ray for guidance and precision of our injections at our clinic. By using ultrasound, we would be able to assure that the exact and proper location that is affected is being injected. It also prevents any complications of an improper injection which may happen without guidance. We believe that ultrasound guided procedures if done properly, can significantly improve the outcomes of treatments.

    What Our Patients Say

    I have been a patient at the Toronto Poly Clinic with Dr. Kevin Rod for over 10 years. I have spent my life in and out of hospitals with numerous specialists but Dr. Rod is definitely my favorite. Dr. Rod has literally saved my life. He is excellent in his treatment and committed to his patients. The combination of injections and medication has made it possible for me to take care of my kids, my home and volunteer in my community. Dr. Rod goes above and beyond to help me cope with chronic pain to have the best quality of life. Dr. Rod is an extraordinary doctor with a heart of gold.

    This was my first visit, office was professional and quick, my name was called after only waiting 5 minutes. Dr. Rod made me feel very comfortable and he is very professional, friendly (especially for a nervous patient like myself) and helpful. He gave me options and did a procedure right away (chatting with me to distract me) and I didn’t have to rebook. Definitely would go back and see him again, anytime that I need to and I have great confidence in his abilities. Don’t think you could find anyone better!

    I am so grateful for this clinic, especially for Dr. Dao. I came with the worst back pain and I lost all hope that I would ever feel better. Dr. Dao is a very friendly and helpful doctor, he has helped me with my physical pains and has helped me feel better mentally. He is very supportive and considerate of my complaints. He sent me to many specialist who he thought can help me with my problems. I still go to this clinic and highly recommend it to everyone. I wish all the best to Dr. Dao and all the staff in this clinic.

    When I came here I almost lost hope and happiness with my pain. But, after I met Dr. Ashtarani who is awesome, friendly, a wonderful listener, my life’s totally changed. I can go back to work and gradually I can fight with my pain.
    It brings me happiness and hope again.
    Thank you Dr. Ashtarani.

    I've been going to this clinic since October this year and have nothing but great things to say about the doctors and staff. The nurses and staff are kind and helpful and Dr. Sandhu is compassionate and has tried everything to help me manage my pain. I still have a long way to go but this is the best care I've received in Toronto to date.

    My Aunt has been a patient with Dr. Wan for more than two decades. He's understands his patient and demonstrates genuine empathy. He listens carefully, asks in-depth questions. He issues tests and actively engages to explain results. His office is professional. He "is a busy physician" but that doesn't waiver from the genuine care my Aunt receives which has been consistent throughout all these years. Even during the COVID shutdown, Dr. Wan and his office have been able to make proper, safe arrangements to provide care and treatment when required.
