Please read this before you consent to corticosteroids for tendinitis, especially in the rotator cuff.

Glucocorticoids are generally used to relieve pain and/or inflammation in a wide variety of musculoskeletal disorders including osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, tendinopathy and degenerative spine disease. Glucocorticoids reduce tendon derived cell proliferation in vitro and reduce extracellu...

I'm consistently asked by other orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine experts what my secret is for PRP preparations in orthopedic immunobiologics. It's no secret at all. It's in the nanomolecules. Since 2006, when we first started engineering A*m and TSG-6 heavy growth factor concentrates for our immunobiologic joint procedures like arthritis and tendinitis, we've been telling anyone who would listen.

The procedures are expensive when they are done optimally and there is no way to cut corners in biomolecular engineering. When one clinic says "PRP" the only guarantee is it's not the same "PRP" that the other clinics are claiming they offer.

When we have identified a patient with an appropriate condition for PRP treatment, we only use the best (sadly the most expensive) devices using the best clinical and laboratory practices. We choose the best device (to harvest the highest concentration of cells and protein nanomolecules), the best A*m/TSG-6 filter (It's a separate device and involves three extra steps) and the best recombinant Hyaluronic Acid. We use precision fluoroscopic and duplex ultrasound image guidance to deliver the treatments accurately. We've been engineering and delivering the best orthopedic immunobiologics available anywhere in the world for almost 20 years and experience always matters.

If you're tired of nagging pain or an injury that just won't 'heal', we want to help, we can help and we love to help everyone!

A*M is a powerful inhibitor of cartilage catabolic factors and it helps stop the progression of cartilage breakdown and preventing further cartilage loss.
