Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an outpatient procedure that is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal problems, helping to accelerate the healing process and shorten recovery time from acute and chronic soft tissue injuries.

What does PRP therapy involve?

The resulting plasma, containing concentrated platelets, is then injected into the damaged tissues. Platelets release growth factors that stimulate repair and regeneration processes in tissues.
