WHY sports medicine
Our Primary Care Sports Medicine Approach.
Sports Medicine is for everyone, from those who just want to stay active to our highest-level athletes. If you’ve ever wished for your doctor to understand your active lifestyle,we can help. Sports Medicine at Halcyon Health draws from the best of our primary care expertise to treat the whole person, including education, prevention, non-surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and ongoing care.
PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) injections and other Orthobiologics.
Orthobiologics, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), are a very useful tool when it comes to treating all kinds of injuries, including tendinopathy, partial-thickness tendon and muscle tears, osteoarthritis and others. These fall under a broader umbrella of treatments often called “regenerative medicine.”
When it comes to PRP for orthopedic conditions, the latest science suggests that high-dose PRP preparation is crucial. We use the latest research to guide our PRP processing including manual 2-spin techniques to produce high-dose PRP and we ensure placement as we perform all our injections under ultrasound guidance.
