PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy has been used for a number of years in orthopedics and physical medicine, to treat muscle and ligament injuries, and pain problems. PRP is considered to be a safe, natural treatment because, rather than using a synthetic substance, it uses cells and growth factors from your own blood.
We are seeing tremendous benefits for all of our patients with this PRP Therapy for our automobile accident patients, wellness patients, sports injury patients.
What injuries can PRP injections treat?
PRP injections are used primarily for soft tissue injuries, such as minor rotator cuff and Achilles tendon tears. Its use in other soft-tissue injuries is becoming more common. It has been demonstrated to improve function and reduce pain in people who have tendonitis or chronic tendinosis conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow.
It can also be used to treat injuries to ligaments and muscles. For example, improved muscle regeneration has been shown in gastrocnemius (calf) muscle injuries.
