PRP & Stem Cell Therapy

PRP & Stem Cell Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary procedure that uses components of the body’s own blood cells to stimulate the natural healing process in certain orthopedic conditions. The body’s first response to any soft tissue injury (ligaments, tendons, and cartilage) is to deliver platelet cells. Filled with healing and growth factors, the platelets jump-start the repair process with the help of stem cells.

The platelets are separated from the rest of the blood cells and put through a process called centrifugation, which increases the platelets’ concentration. These platelets are then mixed with the remaining blood cells, as PRP therapy speeds up the body’s healing process, by delivering a higher concentration of platelets through an injection. This quick procedure can provide effective pain relief, eliminating the need for surgery and prolonged recovery.
