PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma. This powerful healing factor helps repair damaged parts of your body when you are injured, much like stem cell therapy does. However, this healing factor resides in your blood. Instead of extracting stem cells from your bone marrow or hip, we take a draw of blood and pull out the PRP. We then turn it into an injection and inject it into your knee to promote healing. PRP Therapy is also used sometimes for cosmetic purposes as the healing factors of PRP have been found to refresh someone’s youthful appearance. Instead of making your face look young again, we can restore the youthfulness of your knee and help it heal faster, reducing chronic pain.
