PRP Therapy - PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. A small sample of your blood is extracted using a syringe and then placed in a centrifuge which separates the plasma that is rich in platelets from the other cells in the blood. Platelets are important in the body to help clot blood but also contain other important proteins that help in healing the body. These proteins are called growth factors. PRP contains a high concentration of these proteins to help stimulate growth and healing in the body. The PRP is injected into injured areas found in the body to stimulate regeneration of injured tissue and to help decrease inflammation. This provides effective relief of pain and helps to resolve the underlying problem by repairing the injury.
