Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP injections (or Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRFM (Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix) are a level up from Prolotherapy. Platelet-Rich Plasma utilizes the patient’s own healing blood cells to greatly accelerate recovery time in ligaments, tendons, muscles, and other soft tissue injuries. These treatment methods also aim at relieving pain but typically require fewer treatments and are used in slightly different ways. 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, ligament sprains and much more. PRP can also be used to treat hair loss.
