Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is blood plasma with concentrated platelets separated from red and white cells that contain large reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including growth factors, stem cells, fibroblast, mesenchyme that are vital to initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. These elements from your own blood initiate connective tissue healing, bone regeneration, and repair, promote development of new cartilage, blood vessels, and stimulate the healing process. Pain relief and resolution of inflammation is frequently observed with PRP injections. Many sports professional athletes credit PRP treatment for enabling them to stay in the game. We recently reviewed outcome of our PRP injections to various areas of the body e.g. shoulder (rotator cuff), elbow, hands, knees, hips, Achilles tendon, foot, neck and back and pain relief was significant.
