Dr. Kevin Lam Offers Regenerative Treatments in Naples

Naples, FL, July 17, 2015 (Newswire.com) - For the past years, Dr. Kevin Lam has been offering platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to help treat patients in and around the Naples area for painful chronic foot conditions. He recently began offering amniotic stem cell injections, another innovative treatment that uses the regenerative properties of stem cells to safely hasten the healing process of injuries, as well as treating chronic foot conditions like osteoarthritis.
 

PRP is plasma enriched with platelets. Platelets are special blood cells that are first to respond to any injury, releasing growth factors to heal the injured site. PRP is collected from the patient’s own blood, after extraction, the blood is placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood cells, this platelet-rich plasma is then injected to the affected site.
Amniotic stem cell injection is another cutting edge treatment. Stem cells are unique cells since they have the potential to transform to any type of cell. When introduced in to an injured site or a site that has suffered degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis of the joints, these stem cells can change into specific cells to regenerate and heal the injured site.
Typically, the best candidates for the above regenerative treatments are those that have failed to respond to conventional therapies. These treatments are also perfect for athletes, who need to recover quickly.
