Dr. Releford, medical director and founder of The Releford Foot and Ankle Institute, describes how he used PRP injections to treat an Olympic track and field hopeful. “After suffering an ankle injury, the patient was treated with a series of two injections of platelet-rich plasma over a four-week period. The most significant initial subjective findings showed reduced pain and moderate to significant increases in the range of motion,” continues Dr. Releford. “The patient reported that she ran her best season after receiving PRP injections.”
