RFC Regenerative Medicine - Pain Management in Venice, Florida

“I hurt my left knee two years ago while playing pickleball and while I did not tear anything, the pain gradually worsened over time. We still lead a fairly active lifestyle, so I started looking at options to what I believed would ultimately be a knee replacement. After extensive research, PRP appeared to be a viable option, and I brought up the topic with Dr. Rice, who mentioned they would be providing that service shortly. After meeting Linda during my initial consultation, I decided to move forward in the fall of 2024 with three PRP injections each spaced one month apart. After the second injection, the pain in my left knee had completely disappeared. Several months later, still no pain, and I am a PRP advocate.”

“My wife and I have been seeing Dr Rice for over one year. He found the root causes of our neck and back issues. We have enjoyed success with initial visits and then maintaining visits. I went to an educational open house one evening on PRP. I found the PRP to be intriguing but I was unsure it I needed it. My right knee would lock up once in awhile, plus I experienced sharp pain when climbing stairs. I had some x-rays done and lo and behold , the left knee was in worse shape. Linda diagnosed that I was overcompensating the right knee causing more discomfort in said knee. I required three rounds of PRP. Linda has years of experience in this field so it went very well. Total communication and follow up. Rice Family Chiropractic has put together wonderful programs for wellness and maintaining health. My wife and I enjoy coming here as much as we enjoy the results from such a friendly and experienced team. Highly recommend RFC!!”

“For years, I struggled with nagging pain in my left knee and hip. It started as occasional soreness, but over time it got worse--especially after long walks, climbing stairs, or just standing for too long. That is when Dr. Rice from Rice Family Chiropractic recommended Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant at first but Dr Rice convinced me to give it a try. I am 70 years old and within a week, I noticed I was moving with less stiffness and pain. After a month, I could walk longer distances without that familiar ache setting in. Today, four months after treatment(s) I'm able to enjoy exercise and long walks without the constant pain. If you are dealing with joint pain I highly recommend giving PRP a serious look.”

“Prior to my introduction to PRP l had anticipated having a second knee replacement. I'd had a successful left knee replacement I was well on my way to another. Then I was introduced to Linda Ritter APRN and PRP. The procedure was about as easy as it gets as medical procedures go. To say the treatments were "Life Changing" would be a gross understatement! After my first treatment the constant irritation and discomfort went away with about a week. I also had treatment on my sciatica. It took a little longer to give me relief but once it took effect it has continued to give me the relief I was looking forward to. The combination of the Chiropractic adjustments and the PRP treatments have given me a new lease on life. Linda is very good at what she does. I'm a tough stick, usually after everyone has tried I end up with the manager trying. You can imagine I was anticipating a similar experience but boy was mistaken! The lady is good, I mean really good. If you are struggling with mobility please look into PRP. You will not be disappointed. Be Great, Scott Wesley”
