Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and
amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.
What is plasma and what are platelets?
Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water and proteins and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets are part of blood cells that cause blood to clot and have necessary growth factors for healing functions. Platelet activation plays a key role in the body’s natural healing process.
What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets , to be injected on the injured site directly, which increase the healing capacity by multiple times of the injured joints/ tendons/ ligaments/ muscles or soft tissues.
In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems and
to promote natural regrowth.
PRP injections are prepared by taking your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of repairing cells your body produces. platelet-rich plasma has been found to significantly enhance the healing process, and PRP injections are used in various joints, tendons and ligament injuries such as :- in shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tears, for Achilles tendon ruptures, frozen shoulder . in elbow for tendoni
tis or chronic tendinosis conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. in wrist for dequervain tenosynovitis , wrist arthritis. in knee joint osteoarthrits, ligament tear , meniscii tear in heel pain for plantar fasciitis , retrocalcaneal bursitis .
The major advantages of PRP injections are that they can stop the need for anti-inflammatories or stronger medications like opioids, as they heal the tissue naturally. In addition, no side effects are seen in PRP injections because the injections are created from your own blood, your body will not reject or react negatively to them.
