Platelet rich plasma (PRP) provides a modern approach in the treatment of various common orthopedic conditions. Ranging from soft tissue injuries to arthritis as well as numerous chronic conditions. PRP is a concentration of platelet cells taken from your blood, and these platelets have growth factors that signal a healing response. By injecting PRP into areas of an injury, the hope is to stimulate your body’s ability to heal and restore normal strength of damaged tissue. It is safe as it utilizes your own blood. Once the injection is given, the treatment is complete and the patient generally can resume normal activity.
