platelet-rich plasma therapy Benefits

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections use concentrated platelets from your own blood to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve healing. This treatment is ideal for chronic musculoskeletal issues, sports injuries, and recovery support after surgery.

Accelerate healing

Reduce inflammation and protect damaged tissue from further harm. Healing components in PRP injections help to relieve pain while also promoting tissue repair.

Improve tissue regeneration

The growth factors in PRP promote the regeneration of healthy tissue, improving function and reducing the risk of further injury or degeneration.

Minimize risk

PRP is concentrated from blood withdrawn from your own body. This reduces the risk of adverse or allergic reactions, making it a safe treatment option for injuries and degeneration.
