Dr. Johnny Nelson is one of the few orthopaedic providers in the Raleigh area to use in-office ultrasound to not only evaluate structures in and around your shoulder, elbow, hand & wrist, but also perform targeted pain-relieving injections of those structures causing your pain.
Platelet-rich-plasma, or PRP, is a new technology that uses your own blood to create a special cell mixture that is injected in and around the structure causing your pain. This in turn stimulates a healing response that relieves or completely cures your pain in 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Nelson is able to apply advanced understanding of anatomy and ultrasound techniques to ensure you have the best outcome possible.
