Used to treat orthopedic injuries that aren't responding to traditional methods, PRP therapy is a series of safe injections–from one to four–that often has injury sufferers feeling better within weeks and performing their daily activities within months of beginning therapy.
In fact, some studies show that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can be effective in treating:
- High repetition muscular injuries, as well as acute muscle tears and strains
- Knee tendonitis and tendon injuries, including the Achilles tendon
- Injuries and sprains to the ligaments, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
- Tennis and golfer's elbow
- Partial rotator cuff tear
- Plantar fasciitis
Performed by our board-certified doctors in our offices, each PRP therapy treatment typically takes less than an hour. Within one to two days, most patients begin their personalized physical therapy program focused on achieving their individual treatment goals.
It's all part of The Spine & Sports Health Center's unique "whole patient" approach to comprehensive non-surgical orthopedic care that uses the latest techniques to help you regain your life–whether you're an avid athlete or an active adult who's simply tired of living in pain.
