PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine technique that uses your body’s healing ability to reduce pain and increase mobility. PRP platelet rich plasma can be used to naturally heal your joint pain or other conditions by injecting a small about of your own blood plasma into the desired or affected area. This process has so many benefits in accelerating your body’s own healing process and has little to no side effects. The platelet rich plasma is packed with natural lubrication and growth factors allowing for new tissue growth and regeneration within the affected area. This process helps to treat and repair inflammatory conditions without the use ongoing prescription medications, narcotics, and potential surgeries.

Once injected into damaged joints or soft tissue, PRP encourages the growth of healthy, new cells to replace damaged ones. As new cells develop, you can enjoy a significant reduction in pain while your overall functionality increases.

Because PRP injections encourage the efficient healing of your soft tissues and joints, therapy can be effective in addressing a variety of injuries and underlying medical conditions, like:

• Arthritis
• Tendon tears
• Muscle sprains
• Ligament damage

Your Genesis Integrative Medicine provider can determine if PRP therapy is right for you after a physical exam and a review of your medical history. In many cases, they recommend PRP therapy before suggesting invasive surgery.

PRP therapy can effectively speed up the healing of injuries and rebuild the health of your soft tissues. However, it takes time for your body to generate new, healthy cells to replace the damaged ones.

While you likely won’t experience immediate relief of pain and inflammation, you should gradually notice an improvement in your pain level and functionality. Your Genesis Integrative Medicine provider may recommend additional treatments, like physical therapy or chiropractic care, to further boost your results.
