Regenerative Therapy to Support Joint Healing
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses components of a patient’s own blood to support the body’s natural healing processes.
At Arthritis Care & Research Center (ACRMed), PRP injections may be considered for patients experiencing chronic joint pain, tendon injuries, or certain degenerative joint conditions.
PRP therapy contains concentrated platelets and growth factors that may help support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in affected joints.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and processing it to isolate platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma contains growth factors that may help stimulate healing when injected into injured tissues.
The PRP process typically involves:
- Drawing a small blood sample
- Processing the blood to concentrate platelets
- Injecting platelet-rich plasma into the affected joint
The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient clinical setting.
Conditions PRP May Help Treat
PRP injections may be considered for patients experiencing:
- Osteoarthritis
- Chronic joint pain
- Tendon injuries
- Ligament injuries
- Sports injuries
- Joint inflammation
A physician consultation is required to determine whether PRP therapy is appropriate for your condition.
Potential Benefits of PRP
PRP therapy may offer potential benefits such as:
- Minimally invasive treatment
- Use of the patient’s own blood components
- Support for natural tissue repair
- Reduced inflammation in some patients
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
Individual results may vary.
