Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections are a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. The injection is a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. This procedure is prepared by taking one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. Finally releasing growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. For more information, call to schedule an appointment with one of our Pain Experts.
