Press Release
Dr. Bill Releford, Medical Director of the
Releford Foot and Ankle Institute, Develops
New Treatment for Painful Shin Splints
>PRWEB.COM Newswire
Inglewood, California (PRWEB) August 15,
2013
Shin splints can literally become an athlete’s
Achilles heel. This very common symptom,
suffered mainly by runners, can be caused
by several conditions. No matter what the
cause, the result can be debilitating pain
and often long months of rehabilitation and
rest. Using a revolutionary new Platelet-Rich
Plasma (PRP) therapy, Dr. Bill J. Releford
can significantly reduce the painful symptoms of shin splints, speed the healing process,
and get runners on their feet again – quickly.
“One track athlete came to see me after suffering from painful shin splints for more than
a year. He spent several months on the sidelines, unable to compete,” said Dr. Releford.
“After just one series of PRP injections, the sprinter was back on the track, without any
pain, and put in a solid performance.”
A doctor of podiatric medicine,Dr. Releford is the medical director and founder of The
Releford Foot and Ankle Institute and Beverly Hills PRP. He finds PRP injections
beneficial in his practice and uses them to treat sports-related and orthopedic injuries,
and many other conditions.
PRP therapy is non-surgical. By injecting a small, concentrated amount of a patient’s
own blood into damaged tissue, PRP therapy “supercharges” the healing process and
reduces or even eliminates pain.
About Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is an innovative, non-surgical approach that uses healing
components derived from a small, concentrated amount of a patient’s own blood.
Injected into damaged tissue, PRP therapy has the potential to “supercharge” the healing
process. PRP has been successfully used in orthopedics and sports medicine to treat
joint and tendon pain, ankle sprains, heel pain, non-healing wounds, plantar fasciitis,
poor circulation, diabetic neuropathy, and many other conditions, as cited in the Journal
of Orthopaedic Research (Jan. 2006). Recently, PRP therapy has made headlines due to
its successful use by professional athletes like Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Alex
Rodriguez, and Rafael Nadal.
