Platelet-Rich Plasma

Discover the future of healing with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy—an advanced, scientifically-backed treatment for rapid injury recovery and pain relief. PRP Therapy employs a concentration of your own platelets, drawn from a simple blood sample and enriched through centrifugation, to accelerate tissue repair and alleviate pain. These platelets, rich in growth factors and proteins, are then injected into the affected area to turbocharge the body’s natural healing process. Ideal for treating stubborn injuries, chronic tissue degradation, osteoarthritis, and tendon issues, PRP offers a proven, cutting-edge approach to accelerated healing and long-term relief.

PRP therapy and corticosteroid injections are utilized for pain and inflammation management. Corticosteroids offer temporary relief by suppressing inflammation, while PRP therapy aims to promote long-term healing by stimulating the body’s natural tissue repair and regeneration processes.

PRP Therapy FAQ

FAQ

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses your body’s platelets to promote healing and reduce pain. It involves extracting a sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the area of injury or pain. Several platelet derived growth factors stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. Multiple scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of PRP in treating orthopedic conditions, such as osteoarthritis and tendon injuries.

In orthopedic treatment, PRP therapy utilizes the healing potential of platelets, which are blood components abundant in growth factors. By releasing these growth factors at the injury site, PRP therapy stimulates tissue repair and regeneration. Consequently, it facilitates healing, while also diminishing pain.

The timeline for seeing results from PRP therapy can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the individual patient. Some patients may begin to see improvement in symptoms within a few weeks, while others may take up to several months.

The injection of PRP can cause some discomfort, but this is typically brief. The pain may be relieved with local anesthesia. Some patients may experience pain or soreness at the injection site for a few days following the procedure. It can be relieved with acetaminophen.
