Platelet-Rich Plasma

(PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, works in joints primarily through its ability to promote healing & regeneration.

Platelets are rich in growth factors & other bioactive proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair & regeneration.

What is the process like?

A small amount of blood is drawn & then processed to concentrate the platelets. Once concentrated, the PRP is injected directly into the affected joint under sterile conditions.

How long does the service take?

The service takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

What issues can PRP help?

PRP injections are commonly used in orthopedic practice for conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, & other joint problems where traditional treatments may not provide adequate relief.

Overall, PRP therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to promote tissue repair & reduce inflammation in joints, aiming to improve function & reduce pain for patients with various joint-related conditions.
