Benefits of
Platelet Rich Plasma
Therapy
What is platelet-rich plasma therapy? Our blood (plasma) contains platelets, which contain proteins called growth factors These growth factors have the ability to signal the body to heal itself through clotting, controlling inflammation, and building or healing tissue and skin.Â
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Non-invasive: Sometimes, surgery isn’t your only option. Platelet rich plasma therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for some injuries.
Natural process: You don’t have to worry about having a foreign object living in your body because this treatment option uses the body’s very own plasma.
Low risk: Receiving PRP injections is about as dangerous as receiving a collagen injection – not very dangerous.
Supports long-term healing: When people take pain medicine, it doesn’t help the area heal and only provides temporary relief. PRP treatments can aid in pain and can also provide long-term healing.
Reduce lower back pain: The Epoch Times’ report in 2015 found that PRP treatments can treat cases of back pain that were difficult to treat. Patients in the study showed an average of 90 to 100 percent improvement in symptoms.
