PRP Therapy / Injections

Blood plasma is the yellow, liquid component of blood that contains various proteins, including growth factors, which play a role in tissue repair and healing. In PRP therapy, a small sample of blood is drawn from the patient and then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the other blood cells. The concentrated plasma, rich in growth factors, is injected into the affected area to stimulate tissue repair and healing. PRP therapy injections has been used to treat various conditions, including injuries to tendons, ligaments, and muscles, osteoarthritis, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee joints pain and thinning hair. However, more research is needed to understand this treatment’s effectiveness and potential risks fully. PRP therapy is often a non-surgical treatment option for injuries and conditions that do not respond well to other treatments, such as physical therapy or medications. It is believed that the growth factors in the concentrated plasma can stimulate the production of new cells and promote the healing of damaged tissue. PRP therapy has shown promising results in some studies, but more research is needed to understand its effectiveness and potential risks fully. PRP therapy is generally considered safe, as it uses a patient’s blood and carries a low risk of infection or allergic reactions. However, there is a lack of consensus in the medical community about the effectiveness of PRP therapy, and more research is needed to understand its potential benefits and risks fully. Some studies have found that PRP therapy can effectively relieve pain and improve function in certain conditions, while others have not shown significant benefits. PRP therapy is typically performed on an outpatient basis and does not require anesthesia. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days. However, it may take several weeks or months to see the full benefits of the treatment.
