PRP Injection in Pain

PRP Injection in Pain :

PRP injections (or platelet rich plasma therapy) is a new treatment method that relieves pain by promoting long lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions.

This rapidly emerging technique is showing exciting potential with osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, hip and spine, rotator cuff tears, chronic plantar fasciitis, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, pelvic pain and instability, back and neck injuries, tennis elbow, ankle sprains, tendonitis, and ligament sprains. The body first response to soft tissue injury is to deliver platelet cells.

Packed with growth and healing factors, platelets initiate repair and attract the critical assistance of stem cells.

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy natural healing process intensifies the bodyefforts by delivering a higher concentration of platelets.

The concentrated PRP injection is then delivered into and around the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body natural healing signal.

Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and a very low risk of allergic reaction. The Platelet Rich Plasma therapy takes approximately one to two hours, including preparation and recovery time. Performed safely in a medical office, PRP injections relieve pain without the risks of surgery, general anaesthesia, or hospital stays and without a prolonged recovery.

In fact, most people return to their jobs or usual activities right after the procedure. Up to three PRP injections may be given within a six-month time frame, usually performed two to three weeks apart. You may, however, gain considerable to complete relief after the first or second injection. Because the goal of platelet rich plasma therapy is to resolve pain through healing, it could prove to have lasting results. Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses.

Research studies and clinical practice have shown PRP injections to be very effective at relieving pain and returning patients to their normal lives. Both ultrasound and MRI images have shown definitive tissue repair after PRP therapy, confirming the healing process. The need for surgery can also be greatly reduced by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses and the condition is irreversible.
