Platelets are tiny blood cells with important roles to play.

One is to promote blood clotting so that a person does not excessively bleed when they are cut. Another is to contain proteins that are needed when wounds need help to heal.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy starts with a small blood sample taken from the patient being treated. Next, this vial of blood is put into a centrifuge that spins at incredibly high speed. This process separates platelets from other blood components.

Finally, by reinjecting these high concentrations of platelets directly back into the patient at the specific areas of inflammation or injury or tissue damage the healing process is encouraged to heal at a faster rate.

What are the benefits of PRP?

Reinjections help to reduce chronic tendinitis, knee osteoarthritis pain, tissue healing, hair growth, inflammation reduction, and joint, tendon, ligament and muscle injuries.

Anyone experiencing chronic conditions such as lower back pain even after traditional therapeutic methods often look to personalized, customized and service-centric options such as PRP. 

"Regenerative medicine is the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously irreparable organs to heal themselves." 

(National Institute of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)

By providing healthy, functional tissues regenerative medicine will improve the quality of life for individuals.
