PlasmaGenix | Todd Bridges, Star of TV and Film, Treated at PlasmaGenix Affiliated Medical Office
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2014 -- Groucho Marx once famously joked, “Time wounds all heels.” But heel pain’s no joking matter. It will strike about 75 percent of Americans during their lifetimes, plaguing approximately two million each and every year, according to a report published by The New York Times on January 17, 2013. Recently, TV and film actor Todd Bridges sought relief from debilitating heel pain at a PlasmaGenix affiliated medical office where he was treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. This innovative treatment sped up the healing process and quickly reduced pain for the iconic actor.
Heel pain results from a number of causes, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, bursitis, heel spurs, bruising, and other injuries and conditions. Depending on the cause, traditional treatments include rest, stretching, physical therapy, orthotics or shoe inserts, pain relievers, and in severe cases, surgery.
“PRP is an effective alternative or supplement to traditional treatments,” says Dr. John O’Neil Simmonds, the Chief Medical Officer. “Particularly when used in combination with rest and stretching exercises, our patients often realize quite rapid relief from painful symptoms.”
