Plasma-rich platelet (PRP) injections are a natural and effective method of pain treatment but there are still many who are left scratching their heads when the topic of PRP comes up. That’s the price to be paid when you’re the new kid on the block!
PRP first starts with an understanding of what platelets are. Platelets are the cells in the blood that stimulate tissue repair. They are critical in the formation of clots that stop bleeding and play a huge role in the body’s healing process by stimulating cell growth and repair.
During a PRP injection, damaged tissue is injected with platelets that are harvested from the patient’s own body. This prompts the body to trigger an inflammatory response, which is the first stage of healing. This helps the body to recover quickly, effectively, and naturally.
PRP injections are used to treat a wide plethora of medical and non-medical conditions, ranging from musculoskeletal pain to wrinkle prevention. It has been clinically proven effective in improving:
• Hair Loss
• Joint Injuries
• Ligament problems
• Muscle pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Post-surgical Healing
• Skin conditions
• Tendon issues
It’s always recommended that you consult with a reputable and certified doctor before getting treated with PRP injections as they’re not suitable for everyone. Your physician will take your health and your unique goals into consideration to determine if this treatment option is right for you.
While PRP injections are the new kid on the block when it comes to injectables, they offer many benefits to those who choose to undergo treatment. Benefits include:
• A natural form of treatment, utilizing the patient’s healing elements to restore health and function to the body.
• Minimal, if any, side-effects
• Minimal risk of adverse or allergic reactions
• An accelerated healing processes
• The reduction and/or elimination of pain
• Improved mobility in the treated area
• Treatment is relatively quick, non-invasive, and painless
• Short recovery time
While you may experience some minor swelling and inflammation after your PRP therapy, it will not prevent you from returning to your day-to-day activities once treatment is complete. However, there are activity and pain-relief guidelines that should be followed after your session to help support the healing process.
Your pain and mobility will likely improve within a week or so following your PRP therapy, though it may take longer for some patients. It’s important to note that it may take up to six months to experience the full benefits.
On average, PRP lasts between 6-8 months. The duration of effectiveness for a PRP treatment will depend on various factors, including the area being targeted, the overall health of the patient, and how the body responds to the initial round of treatment.
However, the longevity of results can easily be extended with periodic maintenance injections. The frequency of these follow-up injections will be laid out by your doctor to ensure maximum results and efficacy.
It’s important to note that the benefits of PRP injections may vary from person to person. Patients receiving treatment for the same condition may experience different results at different rates, and this is completely normal. If, after 6 months, you haven’t noticed any benefits, you’ll need to talk to your healthcare provider to modify your treatment or potentially move on to another one.
Clinical studies have estimated that PRP therapy has a success rate of about 80%, making it an effective form of treatment for many who are suffering from acute or chronic tendon, muscle, and/or ligament issues.
