PRP (or Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a type of regenerative therapy that uses the patient’s blood to heal underlying tissue damage and degeneration that can contribute to pain. The body’s blood contains a healing component, called Platelets, that assist in the clotting of the blood. These platelets are separated from red blood cells and turned into injections. These injections are administered back into the patient’s body in areas that need healing and pain relief. 

PRP can help repair: 

  • Torn Tendon 
  • Tendonitis 
  • Tendinosis
  • Torn Ligaments
  • Muscle damage
  • Joints injuries
  • Musculoskeletal Damage 

What is a PRP Injection?

A PRP injection contains the plasma from the patient’s blood. This plasma consists of platelets and growth factors. 

How PRP Injections are made: 

  1. A small sample of blood drawn from the patient
  2. The blood sample undergoes a process called Centrifusion (Centrufusion is where the blood sample is spun rapidly, causing the red blood cells and plasma to separate.)
  3. Once the blood sample is separated, the plasma is drawn into a syringe, creating the PRP Injection
  4. This plasma is then injected into areas of concern, reintroducing the patient’s body with their concentrated plasma that is full of platelets. 
  5. These platelets go to work signaling the body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissue. 

The blood is one of the body’s powerful healing mechanisms. When you get a cut, the body sends out signals to platelets, who respond by rushing to the area and clump together to stop the bleeding (a process called adhesion). In addition, plasma also contains growth factors that are helpful in the healing process. 

PRP can be an effective alternative to the following surgeries: 

  • Rotator Cuff Surgery
  • Tendon Release Surgery
  • Meniscus Surgery
  • Discectomy (Herniated Disc Surgery)
  • And more
