Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) offers a natural healing solution, harnessing the power of your own blood to stimulate growth and repair in tendons, ligaments, and nerves.
A Simplified Breakdown
-
A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge.
-
The centrifuge extracts platelets rich in growth factors, cytokines, signal proteins, and other healing properties, from your blood.
-
This concentrated fluid is then injected directly into the targeted tendons, ligaments, and nerves to kickstart the healing process.
-
Timeline
The repair process initiated by PRP takes several months to fully complete after a single treatment. In some cases, multiple treatments may be overlapped to expedite healing.
-
Platelets
These tiny blood components play a crucial role by delivering growth factors and signal proteins (cytokines) to the injured area, driving tissue regeneration.
-
Regeneration
PRP catalyzes tissue regeneration, promoting the development of new blood vessels, bone and cartilage, and collagen synthesis.
This groundbreaking procedure, widely covered on the news and in newspapers like the New York Times, has garnered significant attention for its remarkable outcomes among professional athletes. Renowned figures such as Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, and Rafael Nadal have all experienced the transformative benefits of PRP injections. Notably, stars from the Pittsburgh Steelers, including Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu, turned to this treatment to optimize their performance, contributing to their triumphant Super Bowl victory.
