What is PRP therapy?

PRP (platelet rich plasma) therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that harnesses the restorative abilities of the patient’s own blood cells. It is a completely natural way to help promote healing and tissue regeneration in injured joints and tendons.

Here is what the treatment process entails:

  • A small blood sample is taken from the patient.
  • The blood sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate platelet rich plasma cells, which contain growth factors, from other blood cells.
  • The platelet rich plasma cells are then concentrated and injected directly into the area of the injury.

PRP therapy has the potential to provide substantial relief to patients with osteoarthritis, chronic tendon injuries, ligament tears, joint inflammation, and other musculoskeletal problems, particularly when it is paired with other techniques like physical therapy.
