Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Orthopedics

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a therapy that is given to a variety of conditions including orthopedics and sports injury. PRP makes use of your platelets and plasma in your blood to accelerate healing. 

The use of PRP therapy in Orthopedics and Sports injuries include:

• Injured ligaments
• Damaged joints
• Injured tendons or muscles

The plasma in your blood has platelets that contain growth factors that support and enhance growth of your cells. The treatment is prepared by isolating the plasma and concentrating it. This is then injected into the injured or affected area. After the injection, the body will start to create new and healthy cells that can heal the body's tissues faster.

• Chronic tendon injuries such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, jumper's knee, or patellar tendon pain
• Acute injuries such as pulled hamstrings, knee sprains, or other sports related injuries
