What is PRP Therapy?<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as “PRP” is an injection treatment whereby a person\u2019s own blood is used. A fraction of blood (20cc) is drawn up from the individual patient into a syringe. This is a relatively small amount compared to blood donation which can remove 500cc. The blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate its components ( Red Blood Cells, Platelet Rich Plasma, Platelet Poor Plasma and Buffy Coat). The Platelet Rich Plasma and Buffy Coat will be injected where the doctor intends to treat. Platelets are very small cells in your blood that are involved in the clotting and healing process. When PRP is injected into the damaged area it causes a mild inflammation that triggers the healing cascade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the platelets organize in the treatment area they release a number of enzymes to promote healing and tissue responses including attracting stem cells and growth factors to repair the damaged area. As a result new collagen begins to develop. As the collagen matures it begins to shrink causing the tightening and strengthening of the damaged area.
PRP therapy can be applied to treat ligament or tendon injuries. PRP therapy causes new growth of weak ligaments and tendons. PRP therapy is useful for many types of musculoskeletal pain. It may help heal joints, ligaments, tendons or other connective tissues when other more conventional therapies haven’t worked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How Does PRP Therapy Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"PRP<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

PRP therapy involves multiple injections to create a controlled and localized inflammatory response, which mimics the normal healing from an injury and causes new tissue growth.
At our clinic, our goal for PRP therapy is to restore healthy biomechanics of the body, provide pain relief and improve overall function. With pain relief given from PRP therapy, you may be able to benefit more from other therapies, such as physical therapy, even if these have failed in the past.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

PRP Therapy is Recommended to be Combined with:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u2022 Treatment of myofascial pain, such as Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) or Trigger Point Injections (TPI)
\u2022 Physical therapy and movement
\u2022 Lifestyle changes such as increased activity, a healthy diet and good sleep<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Does Treatment Involve?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You may have several injections during one treatment session. During the first session, your physician will focus the treatment on one agreed area to test response and tolerance.
Most patients require 2-3 treatments, and treatments are usually administered every 6-12 weeks. The number of sessions required depends on your goal, the injury, the area, and how fast your tissues heal.
The ligaments and tendons may take several months to heal. Most people notice real benefit a few weeks after the 1st or 2nd treatment.
The full procedure takes approximately an hour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Should I Choose PRP or BMC<\/a>? And What Else is in the Injection?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

If your goal is to decide between PRP and BMC<\/strong> for spine injections, the best available PubMed head-to-head evidence1 <\/sup>suggests both can improve outcomes and neither was clearly superior over follow-up. In practice, the choice is usually based on invasiveness, cost, and the specific target tissue.<\/p>\r\n
