Dr. Amar Patel, MD offers advanced regenerative medicine treatments including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and stem cell therapy for conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and elbow. These treatments are ideal for patients seeking non-surgical options to reduce pain, improve function, and promote tissue healing.
PRP injections use a concentrated form of the patient’s own platelets to stimulate healing in tendons, ligaments, and joints. Stem cell therapy may be used in select cases to support tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation.
Common conditions treated include tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, wrist arthritis, TFCC injuries, tendonitis, and early joint degeneration. Treatments are performed in-office and are offered as cash-pay procedures for patients throughout Orange County and South Orange County.
We utilize the Harvest system for PRP injections. This is one of the few systems that provides a high concentration of platelets per injections.
We currently charge $750 for a 30-40 mL draw of blood. This produces about 3-4 cc of high concentration (over 1 billion platelets per mL) PRP. In some cases, a higher dose may be recommended. Ultrasound or X-ray guidance is often used for precision.
