Platelet Rich Plasma
Published on September 17, 2010.
If pain is your worst enemy, PRP might just be your new best friend.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is a revolutionary new treatment that relieves pain by promoting long lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions.
The natural.
PRP is a rapidly emerging technique that shows exciting potential with osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, hip and spine, rotator cuff tears, chronic plantar fasciitis, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, pelvic pain and instability, back and neck injuries, tennis elbow, ankle sprains, tendonitis, and ligament sprains. And it does it naturally.
Platelets to the rescue!
The body’s first response to soft tissue injury is to deliver platelets. Packed with growth and healing factors, platelets initiate repair and attract the critical assistance of stem cells. PRP therapy’s natural healing process intensifies the body’s efforts by delivering a higher concentration of platelets.
To create PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is drawn (similar to a lab test sample) and placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds, separating the platelets from the other components. The concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into and around the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body’s natural healing signal. Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and a very low risk of allergic reaction.
Relieves pain without the risks of surgery or general anesthesia.
No hospital stay is required. The procedure is performed safely in a medical office and takes approximately one to two hours. And that’s including preparation and recovery time. In fact, most people return to their jobs or usual activities right after the procedure.
At long last, long lasting non-surgical pain relief.
Because the goal of PRP therapy is to resolve pain through healing, it could prove to have lasting results. Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses.
Research studies and clinical practice have shown PRP therapy to be very effective at relieving pain and returning patients to their normal lives. Both ultrasound and MRI images have shown definitive tissue repair after PRP therapy, confirming the healing process. The need for surgery can also be greatly reduced by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses and the condition is irreversible.
