What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelets are the smallest type of blood cells and are shaped similarly to what food plates look like. During an injury, the human body releases a chemical that alerts and instantly activates the healing processes of the body. When these blood cell “platelets” receive this signal, they activate into healing cells for various parts of the body. The healthier the platelets in an area of injury, the better the healing process for that injury will be conducted, again, all automatically.

Various components of a patient’s blood are separated to produce plasma that is rich with platelets. The component that is richest with platelets, in a golden color, is then injected into an area of the patient’s body to increase the healing process naturally. This treatment is delivering to the body, exactly what is needed to alleviate pain and return joints, muscles and other tissues to normal again through this innovative healing process.

Within PRP there are many growth factors that are vital for the repair of cells and helpful in the calming of inflammation to increase the overall natural healing effect. 

How is It Administered?
