PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP for Joint Pain

If you’re suffering from pain in the knee, shoulder, hip, or spine your first thought for treatment might be surgery or even medication. While these options have their uses, they also come with risks and disadvantages, such as extensive recovery time or even medication dependency. Joint pain might be caused by a number of issues including; musculoskeletal conditions, injury due to external forces, and degenerative wear and tear, to name a few.

Ultimately, chronic joint pain may affect your health and lifestyle to varying degrees. For example, osteoarthritis of the knee can make even day-to-day mobility difficult, such as climbing up or down the stairs. What once seemed like an easy task may now become a strenuous, difficult experience. Platelet-Rich Plasma offers a minimally invasive alternative to full joint replacements and does away with the need for chronic use of pain medications.

What is Platelet-rich Plasma?

Everybody’s blood contains plasma in addition to red and white blood cells. They are important for forming blood clots. Plasma also contains growth factors, which are vital in helping to regenerate your tissues and may help alleviate your condition. By concentrating and reinserting plasma into the affected location of the body, your plasma is being transferred in supraphysiological quantities to the area of the body where it’s needed the most. This jump-starts the healing process. The growth factors stimulate cell growth that may allow your tissue to repair. Once repaired, your pain should lessen or fade away completely. Allowing you to regain your normal range of movement, restore your activity levels, and your life.

The PRP procedure is simple and can take place within an outpatient clinic setting a small amount of your blood is extracted and placed into a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the amount of plasma. This is then reinserted into the target area. Within a few weeks, the effects of PRP may start to be felt.

PRP procedures are minimally-invasive outpatient surgeries, which means you can simply walk out of the clinic after the therapy to allow you to recover at home. This allows you to return to your active lifestyle with little to no recovery time.
