Plasma Treatments

What is Enriched Plasma (Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP)?

Enriched Plasma, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), is a natural regenerative treatment used to support tissue healing and recovery. PRP is created using platelets derived from your own blood, which are then concentrated to harness growth factors, cytokines, and proteins that assist in the body’s natural repair processes. This non-surgical therapy may promote improved tissue health, reduce inflammation, and enhance the healing process, making it a valuable option for many individuals experiencing chronic pain or injury. For a detailed overview of PRP, see this comprehensive guide from Johns Hopkins Medicine.

 

 

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

During PRP therapy, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the targeted area to support the body’s healing process. The growth factors within PRP help to signal cells to repair and rejuvenate tissue naturally. To learn more about the role of growth factors in healing, visit the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

PRP therapy is widely used in fields such as orthopedics, sports medicine, and dermatology to address conditions like joint pain, ligament injuries, and more. By enhancing your body’s ability to heal itself, PRP may provide an effective, non-invasive option for those seeking natural pain relief and improved mobility.
