Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an effective therapy that is showing us great results in the following areas:
- Acute and chronic tendonitis Eg. Biceps, shoulder, archilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee), and golfer’s and tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis
- Knee Arthritis
- Sports injuries including muscle strain and muscle injury
- Back injury and chronic pain
- Coccyndynia (patients in our practice seeing results)
How does it work?
Platelets contain growth factors in high concentrations. This speeds up healing of the affected area.
How is it done?
Your doctor draws blood and spins it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the blood cells. The part continuing the platelets is removed and injected into the area of pain.
Is it painful?
The area is treated with local anesthetic at times. Other times it is injected directly into the area.
Chad Had 2 Years of Elbow Pain. Had Surgery, And Still Pain.
It limited my working out and having pain all the time is not cool. I felt great relief after my first PRP treatment. I’m back to get my other tendons around my elbow treated now so I can work out full on again. It’s totally worth it to get it done and be able to do whatever I want again.
