PRP for medical concerns
Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) therapy is a novel treatment that aids in relieving pain and speeding
up the healing process. PRP is helpful in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions
in areas such as the knee, shoulders, spine, and hip. It is a non-surgical therapy with a
significantly lower risk than traditional surgery.
Tendon injuries
Tendons are tight, thick tissue bands that link muscle and bone. After an injury, they often take a long time to recuperate. Tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis in the ankle, and jumper’s knee, which causes discomfort in the patellar tendon in the knee, have all been
treated with PRP injections.
Sport
injuries
PRP injections have been used to treat acute sports injuries, including shoulder
injuries, strained hamstring muscles, ankles injuries and knee sprains.
Postsurgical repair
PRP injections are sometimes used after surgery to heal damaged tendon or ligaments (such as the rotator cuff in the shoulder and the anterior cruciate ligament in the knees)
Different types of arthritis
Osteoarthritis- or “wear and tear” arthritis, occurs when joint cartilage degrades due to aging process. This is the most frequent arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis- is a condition in which the immune system attacks the synovial membranes of the joints.
Ankylosing spondylitis-is a kind of arthritis that affects the spine (usually your lower back).
Juvenile arthritis (JA)- is a condition in children aged 16 under in which the immune system assaults the connective tissue of joints.
