PRP treatment is an innovation in orthopedic care that is helping many patients delay or even avoid the need for surgery. Also known as platelet rich plasma therapy or PRP injections, this type of regenerative medicine leverages the body’s natural healing mechanisms to reduce symptoms and improve mobility in patients with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

PRP treatment is relatively simple. First, a small blood sample is taken from the patient and processed to separate growth factor-rich cells from other blood components. These cells are then concentrated, sometimes with an anesthetic, and injected into the injured area to help accelerate healing in damaged tissues. Results may vary, but many patients with arthritis, ACL tears, and certain chronic injuries report positive results with little to no side effects after PRP treatment.
