PRP:
In recent times, doctors have learned that the body has the natural ability to heal. Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic provides Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy which is an affordable treatment for several orthopedic problems.
What is PRP therapy?
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that uses injections of a patient’s own platelet to accelerate the healing process in the body. There are two elements present in PRP therapy: plasma, and platelets. Platelets are a type of blood cell, that contain growth factor proteins that are responsible to stimulate cell reproduction and accelerate the healing process in the treated area. Additionally, PRP contains five to ten times more growth factors than normal blood.
How to create Platelet Rich Plasma?
The doctor can take a blood sample from the patient and place it in the centrifugation device. The device can speedily spin the blood sample which can separate the other components of the blood from the platelets.
What is a Platelet Rich Plasma injection?
After creating PRP, the solution is injected in the desired area, for instance, an injured knee. In a few cases, the doctor may also ultrasound to inject the Platelet Rich Plasma. The main goal of PRP injection is to enhance the growth factor in the target area to speed up the healing process. The PRP injections help treat a patient’s musculoskeletal problems by using his/her healing system.
What problems can PRP treat?
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is used to treat a wide range of conditions. It includes:
Osteoarthritis: PRP injections are beneficial in improving the stiffness and pain caused by osteoarthritis. They can also help to reduce inflammation and allow joints to move.
Spinal Stenosis: It is a condition that decreases the spaces in your spine and enhances pressure on chords and nerves. Mostly, spinal stenosis occurs in the neck and lower back. This condition can treat with the help of Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy.
Chronic lower back pain: PRP therapy is used to treat chronic lower back pain. For this, a doctor can apply local anesthetics for numbing the target area and then inject the PRP solution.
Achilles Tendinosis: Achilles tendinosis is a condition that is characterized by pain and swelling in the Achilles tendon. It is mainly caused by inflammation and degeneration. Achilles tendinosis is treated by PRP therapy to initiate the healing process by providing growth factors to the Achilles tendon.
Tendon, Ligament, and joint injuries: Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) Therapy is used to treat several injuries. For instance, a jumper’s knee or tennis elbow can be treated with the help of PRP injections. These injections can help to initiate the healing process and reduce pain.
Rotator Cuff Tear: Rotator cuff tear is another disease that is treated by PRP therapy effectively.
How long does it take to see the result?
The results can be seen after several weeks of joint treatment but you can experience a noticeable improvement. Moreover, PRP therapy is safe because the doctor will use your Platelets for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
