Platelet-rich plasma, known as PRP, is a substance that is thought to promote healing when injected. Plasma is a component in your blood that has special “factors,” or proteins, that assist with the clotting of your blood. It also has proteins that help cell growth happen. Researchers are able to produce PRP through isolating plasma from blood and concentrating it. PRP is often used to treat injuries, and have had many proven results. Read on to learn more about how PRP injections can assist with the healing process with different kinds of injuries and why you may want to get PRP injections as an option for healing.

PRP Injections From Our Orlando Orthopedic Center Can Help Healing

 

Injecting PRP into damaged tissues may be able to stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and promote healing. Since the tissue growth factors are a lot more concentrated in the prepared growth injections, many researchers believe that the body’s tissues may heal faster with such treatments. While this treatment has not been approved officially by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it has been shown to be effective with our clients and many famous athletes such as golfer Tiger Woods and tennis star Rafael Nadal have been known to utilize these injections in order to help heal injuries. 

 

What Celebration Orthopaedic Uses PRP To Treat

 

Researchers have tried PRP injections to treat many applications, and some things that our clinic uses PRP to treat include:

  • Tendon injuries- Tendons are the tough, thick bands of tissue which connect muscle to bone. They are typically quite slow to heal after an injury occurs. Our doctors can use PRP injections to treat chronic tendon problems, such as tennis elbow, Achilles, tendonitis at the ankle, and jumper’s knee, or pain at the patellar tendon at the knee.
  • Acute injuries- We can use PRP injections to treat acute sports injuries, such as pulled hamstring muscles or knee sprains
  • Postsurgical repair- PRP injections can be used after surgery to help with the repair of a torn tendon like a torn ACL
  • Osteoarthritis- Sometimes we treat patients suffering from osteoarthritis in order to alleviate symptoms.
