Chronic joint pain or sports-related injuries can sideline your lifestyle—but surgery isn’t always the answer. At the office of Michael Varveris, MD in Naples, FL, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to help your body heal itself naturally. By harnessing the power of your own platelets, PRP reduces inflammation, repairs damaged tissues, and relieves musculoskeletal pain without drugs or downtime.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated form of your own blood’s platelets—cells rich in growth factors that aid tissue repair. To begin, a small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. This plasma is then injected directly into the area of pain or injury, stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
PRP is especially beneficial for conditions where blood supply is limited or healing is slow. It offers a minimally invasive option for patients seeking pain relief and recovery without surgery or long-term medication.
Our Elite Iodine is a high potency iodine supplement, supplying both iodine and iodide. As a result of decreased iodine status due to the typical Western diet, optimal thyroxine is not always produced, thus potentially affecting normal thyroid function.* The use of oral iodine/iodide can aid in circumventing this issue. Although approximately 80% of the dietary intake of iodine is sequestered by the thyroid gland, other tissues concentrate iodine as well. These tissues include the salivary glands, the gastric mucosa, the choroid plexus, the mammary glands and the ovaries. Published information suggests iodine/iodide helps to maintain healthy hydroxyl estrogen ratios as well
Our Elite Multi-Vitamin is a versatile, balanced multiple vitamin and mineral supplement, that supplies unique forms of important micro-nutrients available exclusively from Biotics Research Corporation.
