Understanding PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that amplifies the body’s efforts to heal itself. By concentrating platelets, which are critical for clotting and injury recovery, and injecting them into affected areas, PRP therapy can accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
The PRP Process Explained
The process involves a simple three-step procedure, starting with drawing a small amount of blood from the patient. This blood is then centrifuged to separate the platelets from other blood components, resulting in a concentration of platelets that is then injected into the injured or affected area, promoting healing and tissue regeneration.
