At Clinic 5C, we specialize in a range of regenerative therapies that harness your body’s own healing potential to treat injuries, reduce pain, and improve overall function. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain or a lingering injury, advanced treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), Prolotherapy, and Ozone Therapy provide powerful, natural solutions to re-ignite your body’s healing process.
Led by Dr. Meadows, Clinic 5C offers these innovative therapies to help you return to living a pain-free, active life. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and learn more about how we can elevate your wellness routine.
Platelets are tiny proteins in your blood, best known for their role in blood clotting, but they are also rich in immune signaling molecules that promote healing and regeneration.
Much like stem cells, platelets carry a variety of growth factors and signaling molecules that respond to sites of injury in your body. Sometimes, an injury can become “stuck” in the healing process, leading to chronic pain that lasts for months or even years. PRP therapy can help break this cycle and restart the healing process.
PRP therapy involves using your own blood to collect a concentrated amount of platelets. During the procedure, a small blood sample is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other components in your blood. The result is a concentrated platelet-rich plasma solution, which is then injected into the injury site. Once injected, the signaling molecules in PRP activate your body’s immune response and support tissue repair, leading to improved healing and reduced pain.
PRP is particularly effective for musculoskeletal injuries such as:
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is similar to PRP but has a unique advantage in certain conditions. While PRP inhibits clotting factors, PRF leaves these clotting factors intact, forming a natural “clot” when injected into the body. This clot acts as a matrix, providing a scaffold for tissue regeneration and enhancing the healing process.
PRF is often used for injuries where additional structural support is beneficial. It offers a longer-lasting release of growth factors to stimulate healing. Like PRP, PRF is derived from your own blood and is a completely natural, minimally invasive treatment.
Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment involving injecting a highly concentrated sugar water solution into injured tissues. This solution acts as an irritant, triggering the immune system to respond by activating the body’s natural healing cascade. Prolotherapy is particularly effective for chronic conditions resistant to traditional treatments, as it helps "kickstart" the healing process and promote long-term recovery.
Conditions treated with prolotherapy include the following:
Ozone therapy introduces ozone gas (a highly concentrated form of oxygen) into the body. While the oxygen we breathe consists of two oxygen molecules (O2), ozone consists of three oxygen molecules (O3), making it a more powerful and efficient form of oxygen for healing. Ozone enhances the immune system, improves circulation, and supports tissue repair, making it a valuable tool in regenerative medicine.
When prolotherapy is combined with ozone therapy, the treatment is called Prolozone Therapy. This powerful combination takes advantage of both the immune-stimulating effects of prolotherapy and the healing properties of ozone to provide even greater support for tissue regeneration. Prolozone Therapy is particularly effective for treating chronic pain, joint issues, and other conditions where inflammation and tissue damage are present.
Dr. Meadows brings extensive training and a deep passion for diagnostic and procedural ultrasound, ensuring accurate in-office diagnoses and precise treatment delivery. This expertise allows you to confidently understand your condition, often with the ability to visually identify the injured tissue during your visit.
When it comes to treatment, Dr. Meadows uses advanced ultrasound technology to guide local injections, such as PRP or stem cell therapy, directly to the site of injury. This real-time imaging ensures that treatments are delivered with pinpoint accuracy, enhancing their effectiveness.
With Dr. Meadows’s skill in ultrasound-guided diagnostics and procedures, combined with our state-of-the-art technology, you can trust that your diagnosis and treatment will be handled with precision, giving you the best chance for a full recovery.
At Clinic 5C, we are committed to offering the most advanced, science-backed regenerative therapies available. Our personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the care and attention they need to achieve optimal healing and recovery. Led by Dr. Meadows, our team utilizes cutting-edge techniques to promote tissue repair, reduce pain, and restore function—all with minimal downtime and maximum results.
