Platelet-Rich Plasma
This therapy is an innovative medical approach that harnesses the body's natural healing abilities to treat a variety of conditions and injuries.
This treatment involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. These concentrated components are reintroduced into the targeted area, such as an injured joint, tendon, or skin, to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP has gained popularity as a safe and minimally invasive option for conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and more. If you’re exploring alternative therapies for your medical condition or looking to accelerate healing after an injury, PRP therapy may offer a promising solution.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is administered in a simple and minimally invasive procedure. Here’s a general overview of how it typically works:
First, a small sample of your own blood is drawn, in a manner similar to a routine blood test. This blood sample is then placed in a specialized centrifuge that spins at high speeds to separate the platelets and growth factors from the other components of the blood. Once this concentration process is complete, the PRP is carefully extracted. The PRP is then injected directly into the targeted area, such as a joint or tendon. The growth factors and platelets in the PRP promote tissue healing and regeneration.
While there may be some mild discomfort during the injection, the procedure is typically well-tolerated, and patients can often return to their regular activities shortly after. Our team will work with you to determine the best PRP treatment plan for you based on your specific medical condition and needs.
Initially, you may experience some mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these typically subside within a few days. You can often resume your usual activities soon after the procedure, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may strain the treated area.
Our team will recommend specific exercises or physical therapy to complement the effects of PRP and promote healing. It’s also essential to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your body’s natural healing processes. Depending on your condition, multiple PRP sessions may be necessary for the best outcomes, and we will provide guidance on the timing and frequency of follow-up treatments.
Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
