What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Much has been written about an exciting new treatment using PRP Injection Therapy, and its effectiveness in treating orthopedic injuries. PRP is a medical treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to relieve pain and restore function in injured joints and soft tissue. Platelets contain important growth factors and nourishing nutrients that help heal degenerative conditions and injuries.

Your blood is made of 4 different parts: liquid plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells. Platelets prevent bleeding by clotting the blood. Platelets also release growth factors and proteins that support cell growth and help form new tissues. PRP is plasma with highly concentrated amounts of platelets. When used as a treatment, PRP provides high quantities of platelets that promote tissue growth, reduce inflammation and stimulate healing. It is known for its effectiveness in treating orthopedic injuries.
