PRP overview

Supporting Natural Healing
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a medical treatment in which your own blood platelets are concentrated and injected into areas of injury or inflammation to support the body’s natural healing processes. PRP has been studied for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including tendon injuries, joint inflammation, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Platelet-rich plasma, commonly referred to as PRP, is an autologous blood derivative- it is human blood that is spun down and separated, producing a concentration of platelets above normal values. Platelets are the clotting cells of our blood, but they also have great potential in enhancing healing of muscle, tendon and ligaments. Studies suggest that growth factors released by platelets recruit reparative cells, augmenting tissue repair and accelerating soft tissue healing.
​
How PRP Works
PRP therapy involves a small blood sample being taken from you, which is then processed to concentrate platelets. These platelets are carefully injected into the affected area by a qualified medical practitioner. The growth factors in PRP may help support tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
The growth factors and platelets in the plasma promote cells to multiply and form new tissue, accelerating and enhancing the healing process.
​PRP contains a much higher concentration of platelets than normal blood. This means that higher concentrations of growth factors are being released into the injured area.
​When compared to cortisone injections, PRP injections hold better results and last much longer. While the effects of cortisone are rapid, they are often followed by a decline in condition. PRP shows slower but greater long-term improvement and less injury recurrence.
​
Individual Assessment
PRP therapy is not suitable for everyone. A thorough medical assessment is required to determine whether PRP is appropriate for your specific condition. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs.
