Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Treatment of muscle strains, tears, ligament tears, tendon tears, minor arthritis, and joint instability with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
PRP (also known as platelet-rich plasma) treatments are a form of regenerative medicine that utilise healing factors in our own blood to help the body repair itself through local injections into the injured tissues.
The PRP procedure is similar to prolotherapy injections but also involves an initial blood draw followed by spinning the blood and concentrating the patient’s own plasma and platelets – the healing portion of our blood.
PRP has received considerable interest due to it being a simple, safe, and minimally invasive method that harnesses the healing power of growth factors.
Dr Atkins is a trusted provider and has been supporting patients using PRP for regenerative orthopedics for over 10+ years. PRP is typically used for the treatment of muscle strains, tears, ligament tears, tendon tears, minor arthritis, and joint instability.
