NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) – On a recent edition of “CT Buzz,” Host Natasha Lubczenko welcomed Dr. Patrick Siegele, a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Doctor from Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, to discuss the promising field of regenerative medicine as a non-surgical option for pain relief. Dr. Siegele explained how treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy are giving patients an effective alternative to surgery for joint, tendon, and muscle conditions.
Dr. Siegele described PRP as a technique where a patient’s blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate growth factors, and then injected into the area of injury using ultrasound guidance. This method stimulates the body’s natural repair process and is beneficial for those suffering from chronic issues like osteoarthritis, rotator cuff injuries, or plantar fasciitis. He emphasized that most patients begin to notice results within weeks, with ongoing improvement over several months.
No referral is needed to explore PRP treatments at Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, and personalized therapy protocols follow each procedure to promote optimal recovery. To learn more, visit Gaylord Specialty Healthcare’s website, Facebook, or call (203) 284-2845 to schedule an evaluation.
