● PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: PRP therapy involves injecting a concentrated form of the patient’s own blood, rich in platelets, into the knee joint. It is thought to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
● Prolotherapy: Prolotherapy, or proliferation therapy, involves injecting a solution, often containing dextrose, into the knee joint to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It’s believed to strengthen and repair ligaments and tendons.
● Pentosan Polysulfate: Pentosan polysulfate sodium is a medication that has been used to treat knee osteoarthritis. It’s thought to have anti-inflammatory and joint-protective properties.
● Peptides: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can be used in various therapies. Some research suggests that certain peptides may have anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating properties, which could potentially benefit individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
● Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the synovial fluid in joints. Injections of hyaluronic acid into the knee joint can help lubricate and cushion the joint, reducing pain and improving mobility.
● Exosomes: Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by cells that contain various bioactive molecules. Some research has explored the potential of exosomes for regenerative medicine and pain relief in the context of knee osteoarthritis.
These treatments aim to alleviate knee pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments can vary from person to person, and their use should be discussed with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance on the most suitable approach based on the individual’s specific condition and needs.

No, we do not take insurance as they don't typically cover alternative/preventative/functional medicine. But we can send you a superbill and you can submit it to your insurance to see if they will cover it.
Yes, all providers are trained to create a PRIME Health Plan in the same way, but each plan is unique to the needs of the patient. So all of our providers are similar in that way. Each provider may also have unique specialities. Typically a patient will come in, receive a PRIME Health Plan and after they're comfortable with how the clinic works they may utilize the advanced services of any provider but the doctor who created their initial health plan will remain their primary provider at PRIME.
Step 1: Fill out your intake form
Step 2: Schedule your blood work at home (extra fee) or in clinic. You do not need to go to Quest or Labcorp which can be inconvenient and frustrating.
Step 3: Do your Initial Visit and receive your PRIME Health Plan.
Step 4: Get any personalized supplements, peptides, medications right from the clinic (if needed).
Step 5: Continue on your healing journey with support from our doctors, nurses, and medical assistants as needed.
You're welcome to ask for a specific provider and we will do our best to accommodate, however since each provider is trained to create a PRIME Health Plan in the same way, and since we heavily vet our providers, you can be confident with any doctor here at PRIME. We recommend that you start sooner with whoever has an opening vs waiting for a certain provider, since our goal is to help get you as healthy as possible as soon as possible.
Our blood tests go deeper than what you'd typically get from your primary care doctor or any doctor that takes insurance. If you've done lab work within the last year we can use it, but we may need to order anything that is missing so that your doctor here can fully address your needs. Please call us if you have any further questions.
We are able to do blood draws in our clinic making it very convenient for our patients. We also offer at home blood draws if needed. Your doctor will help you decide which testing is best for your specific scenario. They typically ask a patient to do a little more testing up front until we get your treatment plan dialed in and then you can move into "cruise control" with less testing less frequently as long as you're healthy and feeling good. We can use your blood work from another provider as long as it is less than 1 year old.
Yes. We source the highest quality clinical grade peptides and have been offering peptide therapy for a long time (before it was popular.) Our doctors are highly experienced and will help you enjoy the benefits of peptides in a safe way that is personalized to you.
