PRP therapy assist in tissue regeneration and pain reduction in the body. The blood plasma is filtered out of a sample of the patient's own blood, which is then injected back into the target area. The typical injection site for these treatments is the joints, where they help bind the destructive enzymes that cause cartilage degradation and cartilage breakdown, which leads to arthritis. These injections require minimal downtime, and many patients find that the injections not only get to the root cause of their condition but are highly effective against conditions like osteoarthritis.
PRP is an excellent non-invasive option for people looking for alternatives to medications. With proper care and the help of these restorative treatments, it's possible for people to live a normal life without the pain of arthritis and other joint conditions.
