Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a cutting-edge medical procedure that harnesses the natural healing abilities of platelets found in a patient’s own blood to accelerate the healing process and improve various conditions. It is favored by sports medicine physicians, orthopedists, and many other doctors and specialists because of its versatility and the amazing results it delivers.
PRP therapy works by harnessing the healing power of growth factor proteins contained within the platelets in your blood. These growth factors are what drive healing in your body. When delivered in concentrated amounts to an area of injury in your body, they essentially supercharge your body’s natural healing response – enabling you to heal faster and more completely than usual.
This is especially helpful after an injury or when needed to encourage the regeneration of ligaments, tendons, and sometimes even cartilage.
