PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy concentrates the growth factors from your own blood and delivers them to the tissue that needs them. It is expanding soon at Nascent Health; until it launches, a consultation is the right way to find out whether PRP belongs in your protocol or whether an available therapy fits better now.
A small draw of your own blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, the component rich in growth factors, and that concentrate is injected precisely where it is needed.
Because the material comes from your own body, PRP is one of the most widely used regenerative approaches in orthopedics and sports medicine. It is frequently the entry point into regenerative care: less intensive than cell therapy, targeted at the same repair signaling.
Most commonly joints and tendons: knees, shoulders, elbows, and the soft tissue around them. PRP is also used for hair restoration, delivered to the scalp to support follicle signaling.
Where PRP sits relative to stem cell and exosome therapy is a candidacy question. Some patients are best served starting with PRP; for others the tissue picture calls for more. That determination comes from your history and imaging at consultation, not from a menu.
PRP is expanding soon at both clinics. We would rather say that plainly than list a service we cannot deliver this week.
If PRP is likely part of your picture, the useful move now is the workup: a consultation and comprehensive labs mean your protocol is designed and sequenced before the service opens, and Dr. Southern will tell you honestly whether an available therapy addresses your concern better today.
Patients with joint, tendon, or hair-thinning concerns seeking a regenerative entry point. Expanding soon.
History, imaging where relevant, and comprehensive labs. Candidacy for PRP versus other regenerative options is decided here, honestly.
A standard blood draw, spun down in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich fraction. Your own biology is the product.
The concentrate is injected precisely at the joint, tendon, or scalp region being addressed, in a single clinic visit.
Structured follow-up with activity guidance, and repeat evaluation where your protocol calls for it.
Shoulder, elbow, wrist, and ankle pain is where regenerative medicine is most frequently requested.

Knees and hips are the most requested application of regenerative medicine at our clinics.

Neck and back pain is one of the most common reasons patients look beyond conventional care.

Hair thinning and skin quality changes are visible signals of what is happening beneath the surface: follicle signaling, collagen production, circulation, and hormones.
ExplorePRP & Regenerative Injections is expanding soon at both Nascent Health locations.
Everyone at this office is wonderful to work with. Great communication from both Dr and staff. They even accommodated a virtual visit for me while at our second home for the summer. Dr Southern is really considering all aspects of my treatment to dial in the best plan as we go. Making adjustments as needed etc.
I have been seeing Dr. Southern for the past couple of years almost and she is absolutely wonderful! I appreciate how thorough she is and how she takes the time to get to the root cause of things rather than just treating the symptoms.
I had such a wonderful experience seeing Dr. Southern today. My new patient visit was better than I anticipated. Dr. Southern is knowledgeable and thorough and talks with you rather than to you.
Not yet. It is expanding soon at both clinics. A consultation now gets your workup and sequencing done ahead of launch, and gives you an honest read on whether an available therapy fits your concern better today.
PRP concentrates growth factors from your own blood; stem cell therapy delivers mesenchymal cells from screened donor tissue. They occupy different points on the same spectrum of regenerative signaling, and which one fits depends on the tissue involved and your goals.
PRP uses your own blood, which removes donor-material questions, and it is delivered under sterile clinical conditions. Every therapy carries risk, which is reviewed with you directly at consultation rather than waved away.
Comprehensive lab work, an honest read on whether we can help, and a protocol designed around your biology.
