Platelet Rich Plasma Injections
Our clinic is proud to provide Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, a cutting-edge therapy that harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to treat a variety of conditions.
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy involves the extraction of a small sample of your blood, which is then centrifuged to separate the platelets from other blood components. Platelets are tiny cells in your blood that contain growth factors, which are essential for healing injuries. Once concentrated, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the targeted area, where it stimulates the body’s healing processes.
