PRP – PLATELET RICH PLASMA

Besides playing a significant role in the healing process, this procedure relieves pain. Meniscus tear treatment, knee pain treatment and general chronic pain management for shoulders, hips, rotator cuff tears, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, back and neck injuries, just to name a few, can be treated with PRP therapy. What’s more, many sports figures and elite athletes have been treated with PRP with excellent results. They understand that this non-surgical treatment relieves pain and promotes permanent healing and averts the need for surgery. For this reason, PRP treatment is the paradigm for how we treat acute and chronic pain. When compared with surgery and cortisone injections, PRP therapy is less invasive and a relatively inexpensive treatment of pain caused by acute and chronic injuries. PRP is useful in the following conditions: Osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, hip and spine ACL injuries (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Pelvic pain and instability Golfer’s Elbow Ankle sprains and strains Chronic lower back pain Spinal stenosis Tennis elbow Rotator cuff tears Knee osteoarthritis Achilles tendinitis Plantar fasciitis Medial collateral ligament tears Acute and chronic tendon problems Injuries to ligaments and tendons and muscles Lateral collateral ligament tears Meniscus tears Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy can be used to treat patients of all ages, and activity levels.
