is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood platelets to help stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain in injured tissues.

Common conditions where PRP may help:
• Chronic tendon injuries (rotator cuff, tennis elbow, patellar tendon, Achilles tendon)
• Ligament sprains
• Plantar fasciitis
• Early knee osteoarthritis
• Muscle injuries and sports-related strains
• Partial tendon tears

PRP works by concentrating the healing factors from your blood and injecting them directly into the injured area to support the body’s natural repair process.

Several studies have demonstrated its potential benefits. PRP has shown improved pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis compared with hyaluronic acid injections and placebo in multiple randomized trials (Filardo et al., 2015; Campbell et al., 2015). PRP has also been reported to provide significant improvement in chronic lateral epicondylitis and tendinopathies that are resistant to conservative treatment (Mishra et al., 2014; Fitzpatrick et al., 2017).

If you have chronic joint or tendon pain that has not improved with medications or therapy, PRP may be an option worth discussing.

MARCH is PALSY AWARENESS MONTH

Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting about 1 in 345 children worldwide.

It is caused by a non-progressive injury to the developing brain — meaning it doesn’t worsen over time — but early therapy and proper support can make a life-changing difference.

Behind every diagnosis is a child full of potential, strength, and dreams.

Let’s spread awareness.
Let’s promote inclusion.
Let’s support early intervention.

Every step forward — no matter how small — is a victory.

💚

From joint pains… to 42.2 kilometers: Lakas!

When she first came to the clinic, everyday movements were uncomfortable. Training felt uncertain. Pain was holding her back.

We chose a conservative approach:
• Thorough assessment
• Structured program
• Activity modification
• Close monitoring of load and recovery
• Regular progress checks

No shortcuts. No unnecessary procedures. Just discipline, consistency, and smart guidance.

Today, she is a successful 42.2K marathon finisher — pain-free.

This is what proper conservative management can do:
• Restore function
• Build resilience
• Prevent recurrence
• Empower patients to return stronger

Not every joint pain needs surgery.
Sometimes, it needs patience, precision, and partnership.

Very proud of her milestone. The finish line was earned!

Salamat po sa tiwala! 🤍

May mga pagkakataon na ang pinaka-malaking hadlang sa paggaling ay hindi ang bali… kundi ang takot.

Isang napaka-warm at maaliwalas na lola ang nagkaroon ng femoral neck fracture. Tatlong buwan siyang hindi naoperahan para sa partial hip arthroplasty dahil sa maling impormasyon at pangamba. Tatlong buwan na halos hindi makabangon, hindi makalakad, at puno ng “Doc, baka hindi ko kayanin…”

Pero minsan, sapat na ang isang malinaw na paliwanag at konting lakas ng loob.

Ngayon, nakatayo na siya nang diretso.
Nakakalakad na may ngiti.
May kumpiyansa na sa bawat hakbang.

Hindi lang operasyon ang nangyari.
Nabawi ang tiwala.
Nabalik ang tapang.
At muling nabuhay ang pag-asa.

Sa bawat pasyenteng bumabangon mula sa pagkadapa, paalala ito na ang tamang kaalaman ay kayang magpagaling — hindi lang ng buto, kundi pati ng puso

ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE
(Biglaang pagkapunit ng litid sa likod ng sakong)

Madalas ito sa mga active na tao — weekend warriors, basketball players, runners, or kahit sa biglaang sprint o talon.

Mga common na kwento ng pasyente:
• “Parang may pumalo sa likod ng paa ko.”
• “May narinig akong pop.”
• Biglang nanghina ang paa at hirap tumayo o mag-tip toe.
• May pamamaga at pasa sa likod ng ankle.

Ano ang Achilles tendon?
• Ito ang pinakamalakas na tendon sa katawan.
• Ito ang nagkokonekta ng calf muscles papunta sa heel bone.
• Responsable ito sa paglakad, pagtakbo, pag-akyat ng hagdan, at pagtalon.

Sino ang at risk?
• 30–50 years old
• Biglang balik sa sports without proper conditioning
• May history ng tendinitis
• May iniinom na certain antibiotics o steroids

Treatment options:
• Non-surgical (casting/brace) para sa selected cases
• Surgical repair para sa mas active patients o complete rupture

Goal ng treatment:
• Maibalik ang lakas
• Maibalik ang stability
• Makabalik sa normal na activities at sports

Huwag balewalain ang biglaang sakit sa likod ng sakong lalo na kung may “pop” sensation. Early diagnosis and proper management ang susi para sa magandang recovery.

If you think you have this injury, magpa-check agad. Mas maaga, mas maganda ang outcome.
