When PRP isn't enough, our team has solutions that work!

If you’ve heard about PRP and you’re wondering if it’s your best option—you’re asking the right question. Because the truth is, real healing rarely comes from just one thing. The best results often come from a personalized approach that works with your body—not against it.

Are you ready to find out what’s possible for you?

Here's how it breaks down:
👉For early to moderate arthritis:
PRP is one of the best non-surgical options available. It reduces pain, slows joint degeneration, and supports healing—all with minimal downtime.

But some patients may benefit even more when PRP is paired with:
✅Stem Cell Therapy (offers even more growth factors and regenerative power)
✅Functional Medicine (to lower inflammation systemically)
✅Laser Therapy or PEMF (to accelerate tissue repair)
✅Nutritional and lifestyle support (to reduce ongoing joint breakdown)

(Side note: everything I just listed above is offered under one roof through either our Optima Medical team or our Optima Health & Vitality Center team.)

🚫When PRP might not be enough:
If your joint is already in the bone-on-bone stage, or there's severe structural damage, PRP may not provide lasting relief. In those cases, surgery or other interventions might be more appropriate—but even then, PRP is sometimes used post-surgery to speed up healing.

✨Bottom line:
PRP is an amazing tool—but like all healing, the best results come from a personalized plan that matches where you are in your health journey.

When chiropractic care doesn't feel like enough, you have more options than just surgery. Our Chiropractors work as a team with our medical staff and your bodies own ability to repair itself with regenerative options that work. Learn more about how Optima is changing the shape of health care today💚

PRP isn’t just another band-aid. It taps into your body’s own repair system to help restore damaged joints—naturally.

Most patients experience relief from joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation for about 6 to 12 months after a PRP injection. Some report benefits lasting even up to 18 months, depending on:

Factors that affect how long results last:
✅Severity of arthritis (mild to moderate responds best)
✅Joint treated (knees tend to do well)
✅Number of injections (some people need a series of 2–3)
✅Overall health and lifestyle (weight, inflammation, activity levels)
✅Follow-up care (like physical therapy, nutrition, and anti-inflammatory support)

Can PRP be repeated?
Yes! Because it uses your own blood, PRP can be safely repeated when symptoms return. Some patients choose to get a yearly booster to maintain joint health naturally.

Your body is designed to heal, to be regenerative, to feel good—PRP leverages your bodies innate wisdom to heal so that you can feel like you're meant to: GOOD.

Most people with arthritis feel like they’ve tried everything—painkillers, cortisone shots, maybe even surgery. But what if the real healing power was already in your blood? That's where PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) comes in—a regenerative treatment that uses a your own blood to promote healing in the body.

How PRP Helps Arthritis:

PRP contains concentrated platelets, which are rich in growth factors that can:
✅Reduce inflammation in the joint
✅Slow cartilage degeneration
✅Promote healing of soft tissue
✅Improve joint lubrication
✅Relieve pain and stiffness

Benefits of PRP for Arthritis:
👉Minimally invasive (just an injection)
👉Uses your own blood, so there’s low risk of rejection or allergic reaction
👉May delay or prevent surgery
👉Outpatient procedure with little downtime

What the research says:
🔬Studies show that PRP can be more effective than corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections for pain relief and function in knee osteoarthritis.
⌛The effects may last 6–12 months or more, depending on the severity and the individual.

Ideal Candidates:
💚People with mild to moderate osteoarthritis
💚Those who want a natural, drug-free alternative to surgery or pain meds
💚Patients who haven’t found relief from other conservative treatments (like physical therapy or standard injections)

You asked; we're here to answer! PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It’s a regenerative treatment we offer in-house that uses your own blood to promote healing.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:
1️⃣ - Blood is drawn from the patient (just like a regular blood test).
2️⃣ - The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood.
3️⃣ - The resulting concentrated plasma, rich in growth factors and healing components, is injected into the area that needs healing—such as a joint or tendon.

What is PRP used for?
✔️Orthopedics: Treating joint pain, arthritis, tendonitis (e.g., knee, shoulder, or elbow pain).
✔️Sports injuries: Healing soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, or ligament tears.

Why do people like it?
💚It's natural—uses your own blood.
💚Minimally invasive.
💚Can reduce and, in some cases, eliminate the need for medications or surgery.
💚Stimulates your body’s own healing process.

Tonight's the night! If we've helped you on your health journey, please tag a friend you'd think would benefit from Optima too💚

The real issue may be something no one’s ever looked at: your hormones.

Hormones affect everything—mood, weight, sleep, memory, motivation. When they’re imbalanced, it doesn’t matter how hard you try… you’ll still feel off.

That’s why our free Health Talk isn’t just another wellness lecture.
It’s a door to answers you haven’t heard before—and a gentle introduction to a safe, natural solution: bio-identical hormone pelleting.

You’ll learn what your symptoms might really mean, and why traditional medicine often misses the root cause.

Curiosity is all you need to attend.
Hope is what you’ll walk away with.

When: Today, 6:30pm-7:30pm
Where: 3321 Golf Rd. Eau Claire
Details: Free to attend | Bring a friend!

Come get your questions answered Tuesday evening!

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling like your symptoms were brushed off, your labs were “normal,” and your story didn’t matter… you’re not alone.

We meet people every day who are struggling with things like:
– Persistent fatigue and brain fog no one can explain
– Anxiety or mood swings that don’t feel like you
– Thyroid like symptoms even though your labs “look fine”
– Recurring infections, inflammation, or chronic pain that just won’t quit

And maybe you’ve done the diets. The protocols. The supplements.
Maybe you’ve seen the specialists.
But you’re still not getting better—or getting real answers.

That’s exactly why we do things differently. At Optima Medical, our entire care model is built around uncovering the root cause—not just managing symptoms. Our team works together, meeting weekly to collaborate on your care so that nothing gets missed and you’re never navigating this alone. And now, we’d love to invite you into our space to see how we can help.

🗓 FREE Community Health Talk at Optima Health & Vitality Center
📍Tuesday, July 1st | 6:30–7:30 PM

Come meet our Optima Medical team, ask questions, and hear Sondra Duerkop, NP and Janet Bauer, RN present an educational talk on the hidden root causes behind your fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, or chronic pain. You’ll also learn about real solutions that have worked for hundreds of men and women in our clinic over the last several years.

We believe no one is too far gone.
We love the hard cases.
And we’d be honored to walk alongside you.

To your health,
Your Optima Team
