Super Concentrated Platelets (SCP) Treatment is a specialized form of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy developed by Regenexx. This treatment involves drawing a patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then injecting this super-concentrated solution into the affected area to promote healing. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with minimal downtime.
Regenexx's SCP therapy is utilized to address a variety of orthopedic conditions, including:
- Knee Conditions: Osteoarthritis, ACL tears, meniscus tears, and knee bursitis.
- Shoulder Conditions: Rotator cuff tears and shoulder osteoarthritis.
- Hip Conditions: Hip labrum tears and hip osteoarthritis.
- Spine Conditions: Herniated discs, spinal stenosis, annular tears, and spondylolysis.
- Hand and Wrist Conditions: Thumb osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and TFCC tears.
- Ankle and Foot Conditions: Ankle osteoarthritis and plantar fascia tears.
- Other Conditions: TMJ syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and osteitis pubis.
These treatments aim to support the body's natural healing processes, potentially reducing pain and improving function without the need for surgery. If you're considering SCP therapy, it's essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific condition.
