Protein Rich Plasma (PRP), also known as autologous conditioned plasma, is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from the patient whole blood. PRP therapy is a regenerative therapy that uses proteins from your own body to stimulate natural healing. Though still in its early stages, PRP therapy has been shown to enhance healing and reduce pain in osteoarthritis patients.
By taking the patient’s own blood and spinning it in a centrifuge at a high speed, we can yield a high concentration of platelets. These platelets can play an essential role in healing damaged cartilage and preventing degeneration.
