Platelet Rich Plasma is an advanced regenerative medical therapy that uses the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to heal injured soft tissue, including tendons, muscles, and ligaments. 

 

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is isolated from the patient’s own blood by obtaining a blood sample (the same as having your blood drawn for a lab test) and then processing the sample in a centrifuge.

 

This processing technique allows us to obtain a small amount of plasma with an extremely high concentration of platelets – this is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is then injected into the injured area to help promote healing.

​

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) works in several ways:

• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) initiates wound repair by releasing specialized growth factors to activate and amplify the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) suppresses cytokine release and limits localized inflammation allowing for improved tissue healing and regeneration.

• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) produces specialized signaling proteins that attract white blood cells (WBCs), enhancing the body’s ability to fight localized infections.
