What You Need To Know About Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses your body’s plasma, a blood component. A small blood sample is taken and placed in a centrifuge during the PRP procedure. The centrifuge separates the blood components, including plasma. The plasma is then injected into the affected area.

PRP treatment offers several important methods of pain control. Consider that PRP treatment can:

• Repair damaged tissue because PRP contains growth factors that help regenerate and repair tissue by promoting the growth of new cells
• Reduce inflammation because PRP has natural anti-inflammatory components to decrease swelling and inflammation
• Promote accelerated healing of damaged or diseased tissue

PRP therapy may be the right choice for you if you suffer from:

• Inflammation of muscles, tendons, or ligaments
• Sprains, strains, or tears of ligaments, tendons, and muscles
• Osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint conditions
• Plantar fasciitis and other inflammatory conditions

PRP treatment may require several sessions, depending on the severity and frequency of pain. PRP is a minimally invasive treatment performed on an outpatient basis with no hospital stay. PRP treatment may also be combined with other methods of pain management to achieve optimal pain control.
