PRO-STRIDE
By Temecula Creek Veterinary

Pro-Stride is a natural, Drug-Free Treatment for Joint Pain and Arthritis.

Temecula Creek Veterinary is excited to introduce the latest in regenerative medicine treatment called Pro-Stride. It is an Autologous Protein Solution (APS) and the most advanced treatment available in a single visit. It is a centrifuged solution of your own dog's blood that provides all the important healing factors which are immediately administered in a super concentrated joint injection. It is a very portable system, and allows our veterinarians to provide advanced treatment for arthritis at your home in one visit.

Studies have demonstrated pain relief for up to one year with just one treatment. This natural, steroid-free treatment avoids any unwanted side-effects associated with traditional steroid joint injections. There is no drug withholding times and there is a very quick recovery from the injection process.

Pro-Stride is much different and better than the previously popular Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS). Pro-Stride is the newest anti-inflammatory/IRAP regenerative medicine product used to treat joint inflammation and arthritis. IRAP (Interleukin 1 Receptor Antagonist Protein) is a natural anti-inflammatory protein released by white blood cells (leukocytes) at the site of injury to combat the badly degrading IL-1 protein. IRAP protein is collected from your dog's blood by processing the white cells using a proprietary centrifuge method. IRAP counteracts inflammation by blocking the inflammatory protein interleukin-1 (IL-1) within joints. If unblocked, IL-1 leads to pain and damage. Pro-Stride is superior to other IRAP systems that require 3-5 treatments at one week intervals.

Pro-Stride Injection will reduce pain associated with arthritis and deliver naturally occurring anti-inflammatory proteins. Pro-Stride Injection is capable of slowing cartilage degradation and improving mobility.

The entire process from blood collection to treatment injection takes less than one hour and is completed in our mobile unit at your home.

 Frequently Asked Questions About Pro-Stride

What is Pro-Stride?
Pro-stride is a joint injection, made from your dog's' own blood. It provides anti-inflammatory effects and pain control.
 
How long does Pro-Stride last?
Lameness is often improved for a year after a single Pro-Stride injection, but the effect may be shorter or longer depending on the severity of the animal's joint disease.
 
How does Pro-Stride work?
Pro-Stride concentrates the blood’s natural anti-inflammatory proteins. When this highly concentrated solution is injected into a joint, it binds and stops the inflammatory proteins that are causing pain and cartilage destruction.
 
Are there risks?
There is a risk any time a joint is injected with any substance. Inflammation or infection of the joint, while very rare, can occur with any injectable substance. We make every effort to ensure sterility of the injection, and often administer an anti-inflammatory at the time of injection.
 
Are there side effects?
Pro-Stride is very safe when administered into a joint. Unlike steroid injection, there are no known long-term risks of Pro-Stride injections. It is also safe to use in joints that have previously been injected with steroids.
 
How is Pro-Stride made?
The entire process of making and injecting Pro-Stride is completed within about 30 minutes, and is performed at your home! After drawing blood from your dog, we complete two processing steps using special concentrator tubes and a centrifuge. The final product is injected into the affected joint(s) immediately!
 
How much does Pro-Stride cost?
Costs may vary based on affected joint and amount of Pro-Stride used, so please call or email for a specific estimate!
