Dwyane Wade

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2014

The Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade has suffered from recurring knee pain, and sought relief through platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy near the end of last season. Knee injuries like Wade’s are among the most common in basketball players and other athletes. PlasmaGenix Affiliated Medical Centers treat sports-related knee injuries, as well as other orthopedic and medical conditions with a proprietary PRP therapy that speeds healing and quickly reduces pain.

"Often people think surgery is the only option to resolve a knee injury," says Dr. John Simmonds, an orthopedic surgeon and the Chief Medical Officer of PlasmaGenix,Inc. "A series of PRP injections can decrease pain, and is often an effective method to increase range of motion and facilitate healing."
