In case you have never heard of PRP, you're missing out on an amazing new procedure that most people know very little about. As it turns out Platelet Rich Plasma therapy has been around for a while yet only recently has it begun to be a viable option for patients looking to benefit from its effectiveness. To start, lets ask ourselves, What is PRP?

PRP Therapy

Platelet rich plasma, also called as "PRP", is a procure where a patient’s blood is drawn and then spun and separated using a centrifuge. The blood is then separated into several distinct layers including red blood cells, white blood cells and the platelet rich plasma. The separation of the PRP produces a concentration of platelets above the normal levels that would be found in the blood. Platelets are the cells that cause the clotting of our blood, but they also possess tremendous potential in enhancing the rapid healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments in patients who may have aggravated injuries sustained during physical activity. 

There are many Studies that suggest that the growth factors which are released by platelets, may help improve and speed up the repairing of tissue, and accelerate the healing process by adding a higher concentration of growth factors and cytokines by creating a PRP sample. When a patient comes in with an injury, the PRP process takes around an hour and uses their own blood to create the PRP sample and then inject the sample into desired area that needs to be healed. The results have been incredible as most patients need only one session to see dramatic improvement. 

PRP is commonly used to treat the following conditions

·         Osteoarthritis of the Knee, Shoulder, Hip and Spine

·         Rotator Cuff Tears

·         Chronic Plantar Fasciitis

·         ACL Injuries

·         Pelvic Pain and Instability

·         Back and Neck Injuries

·         Tennis Elbow

·         Ankle Sprains

·         Tendinitis

·         Ligament Sprains

How Long Does PRP Take To See Results?

As with any medical procedure, it will vary from person to person but typically we see the following trends. Day one after PRP most patients report minor discomfort at the injection site due to the induced inflammation.  The stiffness goes away usually within a day or so and may last up to a week. After a week many patients report a decrease in pain and over the next few weeks will report improvements in mobility as the PRP begins to repair and heal the affected areas. The maximum effect of PRP is usually seen 4-6 weeks after the procedure and is when a patient can tell us if they are 50, 60, 70% healed or more. Variation will occur due to severity and complexity of injuries and several factors such as adherence to medical advice and genetics. The once thing that’s certain is PRP can only help and most everyone who undergoes the procedure has been impressed with the results.
