There are many steps in preparing platelet rich plasma (PRP). In this photo, Karen, our nurse, is preparing injections for a patient with osteoarthritis, in this case, a “booster” injection two weeks after her initial Fat Transfer + PRP injections. Following the procedure, which is done using ultrasound guidance, Dr. Armstrong will apply a bandaid and the patient will carry on with life as usual and without downtime. Results take weeks to months but approximately 80% of patients experience significant relief. Consultations are covered by a valid OHIP card and no referral is required to book an appointment. www.semisportmed.com

In this video clip, sports medicine physician, Dr. Wes Armstrong is performing a Fat Transfer + PRP injection in a patient with osteoarthritis in her knees. About 80% of our patients with osteoarthritis benefit from this procedure with many patients being able to delay or forgo joint replacement surgery. There is very little if any downtime following the procedure, physical therapy can begin within a day or two, and patients usually begin to notice a reduction in pain and increased mobility within a few weeks. Two weeks after the injection, patients return for a top-up PRP injection, and we see them again about six weeks after that, to evaluate their progress. If you would like to consult with our medical team about this procedure, no referral is necessary and you can simply call to book a consultation. Consultations are covered by a valid OHIP card. More information about medical injections is available on our website at www.semisportmed.com com.
