Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a revolutionary treatment that eases pain by encouraging long-lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions. This non-surgical procedure provides an alternative treatment for athletes and active individuals who are suffering from chronic pain, tendon injuries, or osteoarthritis. PRP Therapy uses platelets from your own blood to repair a damaged tendon or cartilage. PRP Therapy is not only effective for combating pain, but also helps boost the healing process. Athletes, eliminate the usual downtime you experience after an injury and decrease the likelihood of re-injury with PRP therapy. The last thing you want is to risk a more serious injury that would require surgical treatment or a permanent disability. PRP can protect you.
