Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP (for the spine, joints, tendons, and muscle) Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a regenerative treatment used to promote healing and reduce pain in the spine, joints, tendons, and muscles. PRP is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, muscle injuries, and degenerative disc disease in the spine. The process involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets—cells rich in growth factors that help repair tissues. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into the injured or painful area, such as a joint, tendon, or muscle, to stimulate the body's natural healing process. PRP therapy is considered a natural alternative to surgery or long-term medication use. The treatment can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and potentially accelerate tissue repair. While the healing process can take weeks or months, many patients experience significant improvements in pain and function, making it a popular choice for chronic pain and sports-related injuries.
