PODIATRIST USES PRP TO TREAT OLYMPIC ATHLETE

Like Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant, Olympic hopeful Norris Frederick turned to revolutionary Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to relieve pain. The athlete reported significant relief after receiving PRP injections by Dr. Bill J. Releford of Beverly Hills. Dr. Releford, a doctor of podiatric medicine, finds PRP therapy beneficial in his practice, using it to treat sports-related and orthopedic injuries, and many other conditions.

Dr. Releford is the medical director and founder of The Releford Foot and Ankle Institute and Beverly Hills PRP. He describes how he used PRP injections to treat the American long jumper: “After suffering a knee injury, the patient was treated with a series of two injections of platelet-rich plasma over a four-week period. The most significant initial subjective findings showed reduced pain and moderate to significant increases in range of motion.” Frederick plans to continue his quest for gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
