Research

OrthoHealing Publications

Our respected research team was among the first in the world to publish literature on platelet rich plasma for orthopedic conditions. Additionally, our staff regularly serves as peer reviewers for several leading orthopedic and regenerative medicine journals. Further, our doctors continually share our clinical research and introduce new scientific technology by lecturing worldwide and publishing in peer reviewed scientific journals.
