What are PRP Injections?
Platelet-rich plasma injections use concentrated components from your own blood to promote natural healing. During treatment, a small blood sample is drawn and placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets and growth factors. This concentrated plasma—typically containing 5-10 times more platelets than normal blood—is then precisely injected into the affected area.
The concentrated platelets release powerful growth factors that stimulate your body's repair mechanisms. When injected into damaged joints, tendons, or soft tissues, PRP triggers cell proliferation and accelerates tissue regeneration. For joint conditions, the growth factors work to inhibit inflammatory processes and protect existing cartilage from further deterioration.
What makes PRP particularly appealing is its safety profile and minimal recovery time. Since we're using your own biological material, there's virtually no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. Most patients resume their normal activities within a day or two, making it an ideal option for those with busy lifestyles who want effective treatment without extended downtime.
