UAB Sports and Exercise Medicine blends precision imaging with advanced orthobiologics to augment tissue healing. In the clinic, specialists utilize high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound to map soft tissue damage in real time. This dynamic imaging guides platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, where a concentrated sample of the patient's own growth factors is precisely injected. By pairing ultrasound navigation with PRP, the clinic delivers targeted, non-surgical treatments that optimize recovery for patients. UAB Sports & Exercise Medicine
