Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. PRP involves the application of concentrated platelets, which release growth factors to stimulate recovery in non-healing injuries. PRP has received popular attention due to its use in treating sports injuries in professional athletes.

Uses of Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)

It is used to aid in accelerate recovery for nerve injury, tendonitis injury, bone repair and regneration. It too helps to relief a person of pain. It does not require any surgery or prolong recovery procedure so it is a very useful way of treating those injuries.

The PRP therapy process

The procedure involves taking a small amount of blood from your arm. The blood is then placed in a special processing unit that separates the platelets and growth factors from the other blood components. The platelets and growth factors are then collected in a sterile syringe and injected into the targeted tissue. The entire treatment, from blood draw to solution preparation to injection, usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
