Platelet-rich plasma is a type of therapy that has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential to promote healing and regeneration in patients. PRP therapy has been used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from chronic tendon injuries to osteoarthritis.
PRP provides an all-natural form of regenerative medicine that can safely and effectively remedy joint pain without surgery or downtime. During your appointment, one of our trained specialists will carefully withdraw a small sample of your own blood and spin it within a sterilized centrifuge for several minutes. While spinning, blood plasma bonds itself with other restorative properties, creating the PRP solution. The PRP is extracted from the sample and readministered into the designated treatment area where joint pain is present. Harnessing the natural healing powers of the body, PRP restores healthy tissue on a cellular level, ultimately easing joint pain for greater physical comfort.
PRP uses the patient’s own blood, which means it is autologous and reduces the risk of allergic reactions or infections from outside sources.
Platelets release a multitude of growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. These growth factors can stimulate cellular proliferation, collagen production, and other important healing processes.
When performed under sterile conditions and by trained professionals, PRP injections have a good safety profile. The most common side effects are similar to any other injection treatment, like pain at the injection site or temporary swelling.
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that doesn’t require major surgery. It involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s own blood, processing it, and then injecting the concentrated platelet-rich plasma into the affected joint. This minimizes the risks associated with more invasive surgeries.
One of the significant benefits of PRP therapy for joints is the minimal downtime it entails. Patients can typically return to their regular activities shortly after the treatment, often within a day or two. This is in contrast to surgical interventions, which often require more extended recovery periods.
Since PRP therapy is an injection-based treatment rather than open surgery, the risk of infection is significantly reduced. Surgical procedures involving joint replacements or repairs carry a higher risk of infection due to the incisions and exposure to the external environment.
PRP therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Platelets in the plasma contain growth factors and proteins that can stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. This natural approach may appeal to individuals who prefer treatments that work with the body’s own processes.
While the duration of pain relief and improvements in joint function can vary among individuals, some patients experience long-lasting benefits from PRP therapy. This can lead to an improved quality of life and potentially delay or avoid the need for more extensive joint surgeries.
PRP therapy can be customized to the patient’s specific condition and needs. The concentration of platelets in the plasma can be adjusted, and the treatment plan can be tailored to address the severity of the joint issue.
Since PRP is created from a small sample of your own blood at the time of your appointment, there is virtually no risk of disease or allergic reaction. As well, PRP for joints does not require making incisions, allowing for a less invasive, safer alternative to a surgical procedure.
Since each of our patients is experiencing a distinct case, treatment plans will be different for everyone. Once you schedule your consultation, our specialists will review your current medical history and discuss your concerns to properly determine your candidacy and how many treatments you may need to achieve greater everyday wellness. It’s important to keep in mind that results will vary.
The PRP treatment process typically takes about an hour from start to finish. Initially, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Once the PRP is prepared, it’s injected into the injured joint or tissue. The combined time for these steps — blood draw, centrifugation, and injection — usually totals around 60 minutes.
Some patients report improvement within weeks, while others may take several months to notice significant changes. The response can be variable and depends on the individual and the condition being treated.
It’s usually advised to rest the treated area for a short period after the injection. We will give specific recommendations based on the condition treated and the treatment’s specifics.
A good candidate for PRP therapy for joints is someone suffering from early to moderate joint degeneration or musculoskeletal injuries that haven’t responded well to traditional treatments. This includes individuals with osteoarthritis, tendinitis, ligament sprains, or other soft tissue injuries. Ideally, these candidates should be in generally good health and should not have conditions that could compromise the body’s ability to heal, such as uncontrolled diabetes, certain autoimmune disorders, or a history of smoking. Individuals who are keen on exploring non-surgical treatments or who want to augment other conservative measures can also be considered for PRP.
