Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) leverages the healing power of your own blood platelets to supercharge your body’s natural ability to repair itself. During the procedure, Dr. Johnson extracts a concentrated solution of your platelets and injects it precisely into the area of pain or damage. This innovative treatment can effectively address various musculoskeletal conditions, offering a safe and natural alternative to surgery, medication, or synthetic substances. If you’re seeking a non-invasive path to healing and pain relief, PRP therapy may be the solution for you.
PRP therapy harnesses the potent healing properties of your own blood platelets, which are rich in growth factors that can repair damage and stimulate healing within your body. The process involves a simple blood draw, followed by centrifugation to isolate a concentrated solution of platelets. This process eliminates unwanted components like white blood cells and platelet-poor plasma, ensuring your PRP achieves maximum potency.
Dr. Johnson then skillfully injects this concentrated PRP directly into the area of pain or injury. Over the following 4-6 weeks, the PRP triggers your body’s natural healing response, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and ultimately providing relief from pain.
The entire PRP therapy process, including preparation and a brief recovery period, typically takes about an hour. Dr. Johnson will closely monitor you after the injection to ensure your comfort and safety, addressing any concerns that may arise.
While some individuals experience significant and lasting relief from a single PRP injection, many patients benefit from follow-up treatments. Dr. Johnson typically recommends a series of up to three treatments within a six-month period to maximize the healing process and achieve optimal long-term results.
PRP therapy has proven effective in treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
• Arthritis: This inflammatory condition causes persistent joint pain. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, damages the protective cartilage around the joints. PRP therapy may stimulate new cartilage growth, aiding in repair and protection.
• Tendonitis: This condition arises when tendons, connecting muscle to bone, become inflamed. PRP therapy can effectively treat various forms of tendonitis, including Achilles tendonitis, golfer’s elbow, and tennis elbow.Muscle • Injury: Repeated strain or tears can cause lasting damage and chronic pain in muscles. PRP therapy can promote healing and restore function to injured muscles.
If you’re struggling with any of these conditions, PRP therapy could offer a path to relief and improved function. Contact Advanced Sports Medicine today to learn more about PRP therapy and explore its potential benefits for your specific needs.
