Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Plasma Rich Platelets (PRP) are used to treat injuries or damage to tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints and skin. Your own blood platelets contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction, stimulate tissue regeneration and healing. PRP can help to stimulate the healing process, decrease pain, and enable a return to activities sooner. PRP can help curb pain and boost mobility. Early studies indicate that PRP injections may help treat osteoarthritis pain and stiffness by modulating the joint environment and reducing inflammation. Made from your own blood cells, PRP injections are low-risk and do not usually cause major side effects.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Empowering Pain Management
How it works
PRP therapy harnesses the healing properties of platelets found in your own blood. Platelets contain growth factors and other bioactive substances that play a crucial role in tissue repair, regeneration, and inflammation modulation. By isolating and concentrating these platelets, PRP therapy delivers a potent dose of healing components directly to the site of pain or injury.
When injected into damaged or injured tissues, PRP stimulates and accelerates the natural healing process. The growth factors present in PRP promote the formation of new blood vessels, enhance cellular proliferation, and stimulate the production of collagen and other essential components necessary for tissue repair. This regenerative effect can aid in the healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints, and other soft tissues.
Chronic inflammation is often associated with pain conditions, such as tendonitis or osteoarthritis. PRP therapy can help reduce inflammation by modulating the immune response and promoting tissue regeneration. The anti-inflammatory properties of PRP contribute to pain relief and improved function, allowing you to regain mobility and engage in daily activities with greater comfort.
PRP therapy has shown promise in treating various painful conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendon injuries (such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis), ligament sprains, muscle strains, and joint pain. Whether you’re experiencing chronic joint pain or a sports-related injury, PRP therapy can be a valuable tool in your pain management arsenal.
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP directly into the target area. Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of adverse reactions or complications is minimal.
PRP therapy is tailored to your specific needs. The treatment plan is developed in collaboration with Medical Pain and Spine Care, considering factors such as the location and severity of the pain, underlying condition, and your overall health.
