What is platelet-rich plasma therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP, is an evolving treatme

 

 

nt in the orthobiologics health field. This innovative technique uses your body’s natural healing abilities to repair damage and disease without the need for steroids or surgery.

This therapy involves drawing blood from your body and spinning it in a centrifuge machine to concentrate its healing growth proteins. When injected into an area of your body with damage or disease, it triggers the healing process, which relieves your pain and helps repair damage.

Doctors have used PRP since the early 1990s because of its ability to increase the amount and speed of bone formation. While it was first used in dental practices, it quickly expanded to other medical areas, including cardiovascular surgery and orthopedics.

How does PRP work?

Your blood has red and white cells, plasma, and platelets. Your platelets not only clot your blood, but they also have powerful growth factor proteins that help repair damage. When activated in your body, these components accelerate cell production and healing.

At Enhance Center, the team offers the most accurate injection for PRP utilizing ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance, EMG guidance, nerve or muscle stimulation or a combination of multiple guidance modalities to ensure safety and accuracy. 

How can you use PRP?

The team may recommend PRP therapy to address several different chronic or acute issues, including:

  • Muscle and ligament injuries
  • Joint degeneration and arthritis
  • Chronic tendon injuries
  • Persistent and chronic pain

Because PRP harnesses your body’s natural ability to heal, the team personalizes each use to your unique condition.

What can I expect from platelet-rich plasma therapy?

During your appointment, the team draws blood from your arm to create your PRP injection.

To administer your PRP, they often use ultrasound imaging or other guidance modalities to guide your procedure. This approach provides increased accuracy to ensure he delivers your growth factors in the precise location of your body.

After your appointment, you may have mild tenderness at your injection site, but otherwise, PRP injections are well-tolerated. Over the next month, as healthy tissue returns to the area, you can expect to see signs of improvement, like increased movement and reduced pain.
