PRP treatment- wonderful results!

I have been seeing Dr Fitz for years for my back. I recently developed a tear in a muscle in my hip. Dr Fitz suggested a PRP treatment to promote healing in the tear after trying physical therapy for a while. I appreciate his conservative nature in treatment and was excited to see if this new treatment would work. I have had 2 treatments so far. Within days of the 1st treatment I was hiking in Costa Rica with minimal pain and a month after the 2nd treatment (which took a few days to recover fully from) I am back to walking regularly and feel so much better! If a 3rd treatment is needed down the road, I won't hesitate to have it done.

I had a PRP procedure in my right hip.

The actual procedure was much easier then I expected.
I was apprehensive but needed to be proactive because
if the pain but a few weeks after the appointment I noticed
a change. Just had my 4 week post op and I am so grateful
it was successful.

From Stabbing Pain to None

At age 91 I have had stabbing pain into my left hip for some time and since having had the injection of platelets, 1 month later, I notice that I can go up stairs without any pain in my left hip, I get in and out of the car without pain, and when I walk and through my left leg forward I have no pain. It is amazing, it truly is.

PRP Follow up

Dr. Fitz, has given me 3 prp injections in my right Glute muscle. the is last one has made a big difference in how I walk without pain. I'm slowing excercising and going to excercise on equipment at the gym. I am very pleased with the outcome of the injections.

PRP Infusion

After spending nearly a year not being able to put much weight on my right leg to do everyday activities and used to being very active I pursued the physical therapy and with little success I decided to do the PRP infusion. The minimal muscle tear was a frustrating injury. After 7 weeks I have just a little pain but I can climb stairs and resume gardening and walking activity. I highly recommend spending the money to have this done. I was advised to continue physical as this continues to heal.I am very satisfied.

PRP is Better Than Surgery!

For the last 12 years I have had to endure low back pain secondary to torn discs, fracture vertebrae, and spondylolithesis. I have tried many different types of injections such as epidurals and ablations with the PRP injection providing me the most relief. Since my third PRP injection I have been able to do more than I was able to in the last 12 years. Also, Dr. Fitz was honest with me and told me he would not be able to get me back to 100% but closer to 85%.

No More Pain in My Hip

I am 91 years ago and have had pain in my hips for quite some time. Since have the platelet injection, 1 month ago, I no longer have any pain while walking up stairs, walking, and getting in and out of the car. It is amazing, it truly is.

Soreness is Gone!

I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in the left hip and after two PRP injections the ache, pain, and soreness is gone. Although I play strenuous sports on a weekly basis the pain and ache is far less now after the activity than it has been in the past 5 years. I would recommend this procedure to anyone else that has this affliction.

PRP worked for me

After experiencing significant pain to right hip and a diagnosis of bursitis not relieved by a steroid injection and oral medication, I turned to Dr. Fitz for a second opinion. After two PRP injections, my hip pain has gone from a 9-10 to a 1-2 on the pain scale...I am able to resume to daily activities with little pain and I feel stronger and I am enjoying my life and activities again...thank you, Dr. Fitz!!

platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection

For about 7 months I suffered with a sore hip which was making it difficult to walk and sleep. I went to see Dr. Fitz and he recommended I try rehab. There was no improvement from that. When I saw him again, he talked to me about the PRP procedure. I had never heard of it and he explained that at this time it is considered experimental, although he had success with it on other patients. With nowhere else to go but surgery, I tried the treatment. WOW! This sounds crazy but after the first day my hip felt much better, and on day 2 I could walk up and down stairs with no pain. A month later I still feel a little discomfort, I can't even call it pain, when I try to sleep on my right side, but it is still healing and will continue repairing for 2 months. It is a fairly simple procedure where blood is taken and spun down to a concentration of platelets, which are then injected back into your body.
Based on my outcome, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this treatment to
