Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Joints
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment used to promote healing and reduce pain in joints affected by arthritis, injury, or degeneration. It utilizes the body’s natural healing power by harnessing concentrated platelets from your own blood. These platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support the regeneration of cartilage and soft tissues.
The process begins with a simple blood draw from your arm. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other components. This concentrated plasma, now rich in healing properties, is then carefully injected into the affected joint.
PRP therapy has gained popularity for its ability to accelerate healing, alleviate pain, and improve joint function, offering a potential alternative to more invasive procedures like surgery. It’s often used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and other joint-related issues.
