Advanced A2M PRP - Stronger than regular PRP and less costly than Stem Cell Therapy

A2M, or Alpha 2 Macroglobulin enhanced PRP uses more growth factors than normal PRP, reducing the inflammation of arthritis (allowing longer periods of healing for patients).

What's A2M PRP Therapy and How Does it Heal Injuries and Arthritis?

A2M (Alpha 2 Macroglobulin) is a protein naturally found in your blood which is plentiful in young age.  A2M combats inflammation and free radicals that would otherwise break down cartilage and tendons.  This Regenerative Therapy combines the growth factors of platelets which is done in normal PRP along with the A2M proteins to decrease inflammation in the injected area.  This advancement means with A2M PRP therapy patients require fewer visits than with regular PRP therapy.
