Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Q&A
What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated sample of blood platelets from your own body to support the healing of damaged or diseased soft tissues.
The concentrated plasma contains growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. Injecting PRP into damaged tissue or joints triggers the regeneration of tissues and reduces inflammation in the treatment area.
Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC provides regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma and stem cell therapies in the office.
Dr. McCants and Dr. Edwards use advanced imaging technology to guide the injection into a precise location of the body to improve treatment outcomes.
Which conditions can platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treat?
Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC offers comprehensive medical care for a variety of injuries and illnesses. The providers may recommend PRP therapy as part of your care plan for painful conditions like:
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Osteoarthritis
- Rotator cuff tears
- Plantar fasciitis
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle strains
PRP therapy can ease inflammation and pain, so you can reduce your reliance on pain medications. The regenerative treatment is also effective at improving the function and mobility of soft tissues.
Depending on the nature of your condition, PRP injections may help you delay or avoid surgery.
What can I expect during a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment?
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that happens in two parts. Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC offers PRP injections in the office, and there’s nothing you need to do to prepare for your appointment.
First, Dr. Edwards or Dr. McCants draws a sample of your blood to harvest the platelets needed for injection. They place the blood in a fast-spinning centrifuge that separates platelets from other blood materials.
The concentrated plasma is what your provider injects into the targeted area. The physicians use advanced imaging to guide the needle into your soft tissues. They can numb the injection site to keep you comfortable during treatment.
You may not notice immediate results because it takes time for new cells to grow and replace damaged tissue. Within a few weeks of your injection, inflammation in the treatment area decreases to relieve pain and improve mobility.
