How Platelet-Rich Plasma Works to Heal from the Inside Out

Did you know that our bodies have a special ability to help promote their own healing from the inside?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is derived from the bloodstream and can be used to treat various injuries, including sport injuries, musculoskeletal injuries and even various skin conditions to enhance healing.

In the sports world, athletes have seen firsthand the power of PRP therapy for decades when it comes to helping to heal an injury quickly and effectively. But PRP can likewise be a solution for non-athletes, as well.

Read on for more.

Could PRP therapy help on your healing journey?

PRP therapy is quickly gaining momentum and acceptance as a powerful treatment for sports-related and non-sports related injuries.

PRP can be a viable treatment for things like neck injuries, wound healing, back pain, cosmetic treatments, skincare, male and female intimate rejuvenation, joint conditions, muscle sprains and tears, and tendon and soft tissue issues like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and rotator cuff tears.

By using your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, you can further boost your healing in a minimally invasive and natural way.

Unlike pain medication to mask the injury, or surgery, which can come with its own risks, complications and downtime, PRP therapy is fast and works to regenerate cells from the inside out.

During your treatment, your blood is drawn and then processed in a centrifuge. Our medical professionals then separate the red blood cels from the platelet-rich plasma. The red blood cells are discarded while the PRP is injected into the area at hand, releasing growth factors and stimulating cell reproduction.

This treatment triggers an inflammatory response to ignite the healing process and repair tissue.
