Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP TherapyVisit Regenerative Healthcare in Savannah, Georgia, to learn more about Platelet Rich Plasma, an all-natural treatment that speeds up and promotes healing.
Platelet rich plasma or PRP therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that offers an alternative for people who may be considering joint replacement or elective surgery due to arthritis or injury. PRP therapy is prepared from your own blood. This means that there is no risk of rejection or disease transmission as well as a very minimal risk of infection. A local anesthetic is used so there is only mild discomfort during the procedure – similar to what one would feel receiving a flu shot. Fluoroscopic guidance is used to assist in the precise placement of the PRP injection. There may be mild pain or swelling at the injection site once the procedure is completed; however, the majority of patients are able to return to their usual activities with no downtime.

How Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy work?
PRP contains a high concentration of platelets and more than thirty bioactive proteins to help heal damaged tissue. Research suggests growth factors released by platelets supply curable cells, as well as stem cells that increase soft tissue healing and tissue repair. PRP is prepared by withdrawing a patient’s blood and inserting it at the affected site through injections.
