PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP)
With the help of Regenerative Medicine and options including Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP), there
are amazing procedures helping to repair damaged tissue and joints!
The human body has an inherent ability to heal tissue, but in certain areas that capacity is
just not great. New cells are created all the time in the body, in order to replace old or
damaged tissue, but, with age, this capability decreases. Conventional medicine offers
treatment that may mask the pain temporarily, but not alter the condition itself. PRP aides in
repairing damaged tissue!
What's PRP?
Plasma makes up the liquid part of human blood, and it contains red cells, white cells, and
platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and stimulate
tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area.
When platelet rich plasma is administered to a person, these growth factors speed up the body’s normal healing capability.
How is PRP Administered?
The first step of the procedure consists of acquiring a bit of blood from the patient, similar to
a simple blood draw. Afterwards, the medical personnel use a centrifuge (fast spin) to
separate the blood. The centrifuge process separates the blood into three components. The
middle layer contains the heavily concentrated platelets and growth factors, and this is the
part used for the procedure. We spin our samples 2x to ensure purity and form a highly
concentrated injectable.
The second step of the procedure consists of injecting the concentrated solution, rich in
platelets to the area experiencing pain. Our team will use ultrasound guidance to ensure
accurate placement. Once the affected ligament, tendon and joint is injected with PRP, the
healing process begins!
How does PRP work?
Once the platelets are injected in the painful area, they start a powerful regenerative process.
They start releasing growth factors, and these will increase blood flow to the area, and generate a healing process. The platelets and growth factors send out signals, which calls in
the body’s stem cells as well to promote healing. It’s also rich in cytokines (A powerful, all
natural anti-inflammatory regulator).
What types of Medical Conditions are treated with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?
Conditions that involve joint pains and ligament/tendon injuries are often excellent
candidates for PRP therapy.
Here is a partial list of the conditions PRP helps considerably:
