Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that is used to accelerate the body's natural healing process. It is a safe and effective treatment that can be used to treat a variety of conditions; such as: chronic pain, injury, hair loss and anti-aging.
PRP therapy is a treatment that is derived from a patient's own blood; taking advantage of the blood's natural healing properties. Platelets within the blood play a significant role in healing throughout the body. They are not only valuable for their clotting properties, but they also contain important growth factors which help to promote cell reproduction and to stimulate tissue regeneration. PRP is essentially using a high concentration of your platelets to treat damaged tissue and to speed up the body's natural healing response.
To create PRP, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm. The blood is then put into a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other components in the blood (such as red blood cells). The concentrated, platelet-rich fluid is then re-injected directly into the affected area to increase the amount of healing platelets in the area. This helps to stimulate the healing process and the growth or repair of cells. Once your body receives the PRP injection, the growth factors promote tissue repair. Improvements in your body and a reduction of your pain should be noticed within a few weeks. Your doctor might want to schedule additional PRP injections to get you the best outcome possible.
PRP therapy is ONLY used with YOUR blood. Our providers take special care to keep you comfortable at all times.
