What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP is your blood plasma that has been enriched with your own concentrated platelets. This concentrated PRP contains several different growth factors.
Platelets also contain proteins called growth factors, which play an important role in the process of healing of injuries.
With Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, our skilled providers stimulate inflammation, which alerts the body to take notice of the injured tissue again so it can assist in healing the damaged tissue. PRP can accelerate the healing process of injures such as plantar fasciitis, tendon, ligament, bone and cartilage injuries. Platelet rich plasma has gained substantial popularity in the arena of sports medicine and orthopedics for its ability to enhance healing of both chronic and acute ailments. It can many times augment or even replace surgery, and many patients have decreased pain after the first injection. You no longer must be a professional athlete to receive this type of therapy.
