PRP THERAPY Q & A
Your Regenerative Health NY provider produces PRP by drawing your blood and processing the samples in a centrifuge that separates and concentrates the platelets. Then they draw your PRP into a needle and inject it at the site of your damaged tissues.
- Accelerate healing
- Reduce inflammation
- Stimulate new blood vessel growth
- Support new tissue growth
- Recruit stem cells to the injured tissues
Your Regenerative Health NY provider may suggest PRP therapy when you have a slow-healing injury, or chronic joint pain, or damaged soft tissue (muscle, tendons, fascia, etc). PRP injections also help when you injure tissues that don’t have a good blood supply such as the meniscus and cartilage.
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ligament injuries
- Tendon injuries
- Meniscus tears
- Tendonitis
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
Your provider may use PRP as part of your pain management plan. PRP can also help you rehabilitate and return to your activities faster.
Many people have mild discomfort at the injection site, but it disappears in a few days. Your Regenerative Health NY provider may ask you to avoid certain activities for a short time. This reduces stress on the treated tissues and gives them time to heal.
