We continue to scientifically study and discover the many ways that PRP works. Research demonstrates that PRP potentially increases the body’s ability to heal by prompting a natural release of proteins. PRP contains over 1,500 proteins, also known as growth factors. These may reduce inflammation and support the healing of soft tissue injuries and arthritis. The process begins with a blood draw from the patient. Following this, unwanted white and red blood cells are removed to concentrate the platelets and plasma. This purified platelet rich plasma solution is then injected into the treatment area, precisely guided by an ultrasound or X-ray for clear visualization and to minimize the risk of trauma to surrounding structures. This approach is designed to stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal.
