  1. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Who is Texas Cell Institute? Texas Cell Institute is a state-­­of-­­the art, cutting edge regenerative medicine practice which has a mission is to: 1.) To Heal Musculoskeletal Injury at the Cellular Level. 2.) To Decrease the Need for Narcotics and Invasive Surgery for Musculoskeletal Injury. 3.) To Preserve Arthritic Joints for Long Term Health. 4.) To Promote Overall Health & Wellness. A partnership between Drs. Amit Mirchandani & Marius Meintjescombined with the state of the art, FDA-­­approved, High-­­complexity laboratory has culminated in the Texas Cell Institute. At Texas Cell Institute, we offer our patients an alternative non- ­­ narcotic, non-­­surgical approach to musculoskeletal injuries utilizing cell therapy techniques to enhance healing. What is Regenerative Medicine? Regenerative Medicine is the practice of cutting-­­edge, minimally invasive therapies to help your body definitively heal from acute and chronic injuries. Injuries and aging joints can result in persistent, painful symptoms that are non-­­responsive to traditional medical treatments. There is a growing body of evidence in favor of Regenerative Medicine as a potentially more superior form of treatment through the use of biologics, such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell therapy, to effectively heal and regenerate non- ­­healing, injured tissue. These promising treatments have bridged the gap between non-­­responsive conservative treatments and potentially risky invasive surgery. What is Platelet Rich Plasma? Platelets are the component of blood most commonly known for helping create blood clots when a tissue is injured. Less commonly known, platelets also contain and release powerful growth factors and cytokines with instrumental healing properties. PRP is blood plasma that has been precisely

Platelets contain growth factors and cytokines crucially important in stimulating restoration of injured tissue. When your site of injury is precisely injected with PRP, a cascade of events occurs that promotes healing. These events include inflammation, granulation, matrix formation and ends with soft tissue remodeling and healing. How is PRP prepared? After starting a peripheral IV line under local anesthesia, about 30-­­60 mL of blood is drawn into a syringe that will be sent to our on-­­site lab for further centrifugation, separation & isolation of the platelet rich plasma. Our blood processing is done in a High Complexity, Fully Certified Laboratory under the direct supervision of our lab director. A microscopic analysis is made of your final PRP to assure quality preparation. How is PRP delivered to the Injured Area? PRP delivery is generally an extremely safe procedure as we utilize your body’s own cells. At Texas Cell Institute, we also offer anesthesia for your comfort and do all of our procedures in a fully certified surgical suite under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection. A MEDICAL DOCTOR always does your injection and we also always use direct image guidance for both accurate needle placement of cells as well as to minimize risk for injuring nerves and blood vessels. Am I a good candidate for PRP therapy? If you have a musculoskeletal injury that has not healed on its own and are suffering from pain that is limiting your activity, we would be happy to evaluate you for PRP treatment. All consultations are done with a Medical Doctor, who will do an extensive review of your medical history, physical examination and diagnostic ultrasound evaluation. Even if you are not a good candidate for PRP, you will be given alternatives to help you heal. What is the cost of PRP? Does insurance cover this procedure? At this time, regenerative medicine procedures are still considered investigative by insurance plans and it is rarely covered. After your initial consultation, however, our financial counselor will outline all costs and options to make this therapy accessible for you.
