When you’re accustomed to living an active lifestyle, the last thing you want is to be sidelined from your life because of orthopedic pain.

I had been dealing with hip pain for several months. I was expecting to be told that I needed hip replacement, but Dr. Negaard instead found another diagnosis. Between physical therapy and the PRP injection, I’m pain-free and enjoying the rest of my retirement.

These treatments are not covered by insurance.

Joints can take up to four weeks to start feeling better and tendons can take up to 8 weeks to start feeling better.
