Alternative to Surgery


When you face joint pain, many doctors immediately suggest surgery, however many are not aware of how powerful regenerative medicine can be.


Surgery is not always necessary even for severe injuries. For people avoiding surgery, but face chronic pain and immobility, PRP therapy has shown highly promising results.  Surgery always runs the risk of making the condition worse as it can lead to various complications. 


PRP is a safe and non-invasive treatment applied in the form of an injection. There is no need for hospital visits or admission since it is an outpatient procedure that is completed in approximately one hour.  There is no need for general anesthesia, prolonged recovery, or rehabilitation.  Most patients resume their routine activities immediately after a PRP procedure.


What is the Frequency?

Dr. Anwar will determine how many times you should have the PRP procedure done, but most commonly he may give up to 3 injections within 6 months.


What is the anticipated outcome?

Since the aim of PRP treatment is to relieve pain via natural healing process by repairing and regenerating healthy tissue, it can have lasting outcomes. Patients may experience near immediate relief with gradual progression as the healing continues, or some may not feel the full effect for even a few months.  Clinical practice and research studies show that PRP therapy is very effective for pain relief and complete recovery towards a normal life.


There is a high success rate for PRP injection to repair damaged tissue non-surgically. Famous athletes like Kobe Bryant and Alex Rodriguez reported that PRP treatment for pain or injury had enabled them to heal faster and return to the game sooner.  MRI and ultrasound have confirmed definite results in terms of tissue repair- the left knee image is before, and the right image is after regenerative therapies:

Dr. Zaki Anwar is a leading expert with regenerative therapy in the Chicago area, actively involved with the research and practices of these advanced treatments.
