Platelet-rich Plasma Injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections help the body along with its natural healing process. A doctor or medical professional will draw a small sample of blood and process it in a centrifuge to separate the blood cells from the platelets. The separated platelets are then injected into a numbed area of the back.
Platelets contain many healing properties such as growth factors, proteins, and cytokines. When a high concentration is introduced into a damaged area, it helps the body heal properly. This treatment can be an ideal choice to avoid surgery or pain medications as there is low risk and can be done right in our office!
