PRP Therapy Q & A What is platelet-rich plasma therapy? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses the natural regenerative properties of your blood to treat a wide range of conditions. Platelets are a component of your blood that are rich in growth factors and proteins, and they play a crucial role in healing your body’s injuries. At Spine & Sports Medical Group, the team uses PRP to help repair damaged skeletal and muscular tissues without invasive surgery, which typically requires additional specialists and a longer recovery period. With PRP there’s also no risk of allergies or side effects, since you use plasma from your own blood. How does PRP therapy work? During your treatment, a team member from Spine & Sports Medical Group takes a sample of your blood and runs it through a centrifuge machine. The centrifugal process separates platelets from other blood matter, producing a platelet-concentrated solution that is injected back into targeted areas where you have an injury. Once injected, the platelet solution can help reduce inflammation and pain, increase your range of motion, and stimulate tissue regeneration, so the injured or diseased joint essentially repairs itself. What does PRP therapy help with? As a regenerative medical treatment, PRP therapy has a wide range of applications, from cosmetic revitalization to musculoskeletal repairs. At Spine & Sports Medical Group, the team uses PRP therapy to treat diseases that cause chronic pain and injure your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. PRP is an effective treatment for specific conditions, including: Arthritic joints Tendon and ligament tears Plantar fasciitis Overuse injuries Degenerative spinal conditions The procedure is minimally invasive, relatively painless, and can be completed at the clinic within an hour. What are the benefits of PRP therapy? PRP therapy can offer a permanent solution to pain and damage brought on by a disease or injury. The practice offers this treatment as an alternative to surgery, which has benefits such as: No need for anesthesia No chance of surgical complications No hospital stay Shorter recovery period With PRP your body does the work to heal itself, and as the targeted tissues grow and become stronger, you see a noticeable improvement in your joint function and a reduction of any chronic pain. Is PRP therapy safe for me? PRP therapy is safe for most people, unless you have a blood disorder or a condition that affects the quality of your blood, like: Hepatitis C HIV/AIDS Blood cancer Skin cancer Blood-related conditions like these affect blood-platelet levels and compromise their healing properties, which makes your blood ineffective in giving you the desired results for musculoskeletal regeneration and repair.
