 Digital
Radiography:
X-ray technology has been used for decades with few improvements
until the introduction of digital radiography. With the
“D-R” we are able to view images immediately
and manipulate them for maximum clarity. For ambulatory
care this is a major benefit. No more trips to the office
to process films only to find they are not of usable quality.
Also, we are able to share the results with other facilities,
such as an equine hospital, quickly and effectively. Our
clients who have had occasion to use radiology recently
appreciate the advantages that digital imaging offers..
Platelet-Rich
Plasma (PRP):
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy supports the treatment of
tendon and ligament problems. PRP is a by-product of the
patient’s own blood which has been through special
centrifugation and preparation. This process eliminates
the possibility of rejection or disease transmission from
a foreign source. PRP helps repair an injury at the cellular
level and new studies indicate it may also reduce the
incidence of re-injury. Standard treatments including
bandaging, meds, and rehabilitative exercise are still
valuable but many times cannot repair the tendon or ligament.
With PRP we hope to get closer to this goal. Creekside
has the equipment on hand to prepare PRP, and our doctors
are using these injections to successfully treat patients.
IRAP
(interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein):
Another recent development in the area of joint treatment
is IRAP therapy. Although it has been available for less
than two years the reports of success are very exciting.
IRAP uses the patients’ own processed blood for
injection, making it extremely safe for the animal. Basically,
Interleukin-1 must match up perfectly with receptor sites
in the joint to start an inflammation process. IRAP fits
into these receptor sites and blocks them so that the
inflammation is stopped before it gets started. Gene therapy
will play an important role in the future of medicine,
and Creekside will continue to provide the latest in procedures
and information to our patients.
