Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy For Pain
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP therapy) is the latest treatment that many professional athletes receive in order to heal and return to playing sooner. It is non-surgical, with quicker healing times and has been showing promising results for many conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonosis, muscle, ligament and tendon strains, sprains and tears (Rotator Cuff, Patella, ACL etc), that have failed other conservative treatment.
Platelet Rich Plasma is highly concentrated with platelets and proteins that repair tissue and are responsible for the regeneration of tissue, bone, tendons and ligaments. These cells also support the growth of new blood vessels and promote healing.
