Overview
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP is produced from a person’s own blood. It is a concentration of one type of cell, known as platelets, which circulate through the blood and are critical for blood clotting. Platelets and the liquid plasma portion of the blood contain many factors that are essential for cell recruitment, multiplication, and specialization that are required for healing.
Preparation and Mechanism of Action
To prepare PRP, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient and placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins and automatically produces the PRP by concentrating the platelets. Then the PRP is injected at the site of injury under ultrasound guidance.. The growth factors that the platelets secrete stimulate tissue recovery making everything stronger and tighter to withstand the stress of daily and sports-related activities.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
Patients can see a significant improvement in symptoms. This may eliminate the need for more aggressive treatments such as long-term medication or surgery, as well as a remarkable return of function.
