– Platelet-rich plasma therapy is the use of platelet-rich blood plasma – PRP, which contains growth factors and other substances that are actively involved in the treatment and repair of damaged or diseased tissue.
PRP therapy is a great solution to accelerate the healing process of injured tendons and osteoarthritis naturally without subjecting the patient to major surgery. The principle itself is one of the latest advances in medicine and uses the body’s natural ability to heal. Today, PRP therapy is often used to accelerate tendon and cartilage healing.
Using the patient’s blood, platelets are extracted by special methods, which are then injected into the injured site. Ultrasound is used to provide injection at the exact desired location, which makes it easier and more accurate to determine the injection site. When a cut occurs, for example, the body’s defense response is to attract platelets to the site of injury, thereby accelerating the healing process.
After injection, platelets release substances (growth factors) that support the healing and healing process. By concentrating platelets in one place we increase the amount of substances that affect growth and support the healing process. The human body has incredible healing power and by using our own platelets, we significantly support and accelerate the healing process.
