Did you know there are specific steps you can take to optimize your PRP procedure and potentially improve your results?

The success of PRP likely depends not just on technique, but also on the quality of the PRP, which reflects your own biology.
Exercise, diet, and supplements can all influence platelet number and function. Higher‑intensity exercise tends to increase platelet counts and enhance platelet adhesion and growth factor release, which could improve PRP’s healing potential.
Low‑inflammatory, whole‑food diets appear to increase platelet counts and activity, while stress, some supplements, high cholesterol, and high processed sugar intake can drive inflammation and may reduce both platelet counts and PRP quality. Overall, current evidence supports strong biologic plausibility that optimizing exercise, diet, and supplement use can meaningfully affect PRP injection efficacy.

Officially triple board certified! I was driven to complete this training through Columbia/Cornell because excess weight often plays a significant role in spine and joint pain. As many of you know, I've always been passionate about nutrition and exercise; this training has given me another tool to care for my patients.

Since launching Cara Cares eight months ago, I've been honored to treat a wide variety of patients, from CEOs and athletes to busy parents and fellow physicians. Their concerns ranged from rare diseases to cancer to everyday back pain. But, like me, they all shared a desire for a more meaningful, personal medical experience. They welcomed me into their homes for appointments that lasted two to three hours, on average. It has been a delight to care for them and bring them improved quality of life. To the many patients and friends who embraced my new approach to pain management, THANK YOU.

The cherry on top? Being named "Best of the Best" in Pain Medicine after achieving several consecutive years of "Top Doctor" peer recognition in Palm Beach Illustrated magazine. I'll do my best to live up to that reputation!

Healthcare is broken. Long waits, rushed appointments, insurance battles, siloed care, and unmet needs … we all suffer. For years, I struggled to give my patients the care and attention they deserved within the corporate model, but it was never enough. I eventually took a sabbatical to find another way. I wanted a practice that would allow me to take my time with patients, listen, and provide comprehensive, compassionate care. I didn’t find it, so I’m building it.

I’m pleased to introduce my solo private practice, Cara Cares. It’s the first concierge-only interventional pain management practice in Florida, and among the first in the nation. I intend to keep it small so I can provide an exceptional level of care and access, including house calls. I met with my first concierge member last week, and we spent three hours together in their home. That’s the care patients want and deserve, especially those with complex and chronic conditions. I’m committed to elevating pain care.

Dr. Jeffrey R. Cara delivers world-class, concierge pain management reflecting his training at Mayo Clinic, Northwestern University, and the University of Chicago. He provides gentle, compassionate care for a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions.
