WHAT IS PRP?

Thursday April 29, 2021
 
Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

What is PRP treatment good for?
PRP injections are used to treat torn tendons, tendinitis, muscle injuries, arthritis-related pain, and joint injuries. It is also becoming more common for cosmetic procedures, too.

What are the side effects of a PRP injection?
Because PRP is derived from your own blood ("autologous" transplantation), there is NO chance of having an allergy or immune reaction. Indeed, in the literature, side effects or complications of PRP injection are extremely rare. The main risks include local infection (< 1% chance) and pain at the site of injection.


How painful is a PRP injection?
In general, PRP injections are not painful. This may vary by the patient or by the area of the body in which the injection is being made. Your doctor may recommend a local anesthetic to manage this discomfort. General anesthesia typically is not used in conjunction with PRP therapy.
