What makes PRP Therapy so Beneficial?

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy involves taking a patient’s blood sample, extract platelet enriched plasma from it and inject it back into their own injured or damaged body’s tissues. This results in faster healing, recovery and pain relief from an injury, and after a surgical procedure.

Platelet-rich plasma can be derived by spinning blood in a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood – the plasma – separates from the solid red and white blood cells and platelets. The platelets are then recombined with the plasma to create PRP.

Conditions PRP Therapy can Treat

In addition to speeding up healing by accelerating the process of clotting, platelets can help to treat the following conditions –

• delay arthritis progression by reducing inflammation
• stimulate new cartilage formation
• reduce joint friction by the stimulating the production of joint lubricating material and thus reducing pain
• alteration of pain receptors through protein production to reduce pain sensation

Benefits of PRP Therapy

In addition to being used to treat several injuries and conditions, PRP therapy offers a wide range of benefits to patients.

For Chronic and Persistent Issues

PRP therapy is extremely effective in treating unresponsive injuries and conditions. For example, if you have a wound that doesn’t heal properly or if an injury is not healing as soonas injuries usually do. In such cases, the platelet-rich plasma from your own body can aid the body’s natural healing mechanism. Once PRP is injected into the damaged or injured tissues, PRP boosts healing which continues until the wound or injury is gone. Similarly, PRP can help people who suffer from chronic pain. If you or a loved one experiences persistent, relentless pain, which makes even daily activities difficult, PRP can help.

Non-invasive Treatment

Unlike many other treatment options, PRP therapy is non-invasive. The extraction of blood (from which the PRP is extracted) and injecting PRP into the area of injury or degeneration are both done through injections. The enriched plasma can be injected directly into the area with the injury or damage. That’s why results and pain relief is faster than other traditional methods of treatment.

PRP therapy also reduces the chances of rejection or infection since PRP is not a foreign material and has been taken from your own body.

Scar-free Results

Accidents and surgery could result in significant and unsightly scarring. And even more importantly, it maybecome a reminder of the pain you underwent. PRP therapy doesn’t cause any scarring. It doesn’t even require cutting into the body orstitches. This makes PRP therapy even more useful in cosmetic treatments.
