PRP Therapy
PRP is a medical treatment that utilizes a patient’s own blood to promote healing and reduce pain in various conditions, including joint and knee problems. It involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood and processing it to separate the platelets from other components like red blood cells.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelets contain growth factors and proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. When concentrated into a platelet-rich plasma, these growth factors can be injected into the affected area to stimulate healing.
Procedure
The PRP procedure for knees and joints typically involves the following steps:
- Blood Collection: A small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, usually from the arm.
- Centrifugation: The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins at high speeds to separate the platelets from other blood components.
- PRP Preparation: Once the platelets are concentrated, the PRP is prepared and ready for injection.
- Injection: The PRP is injected directly into the affected knee or joint area under ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate placement.
Healing and Recovery
PRP therapy is believed to promote natural healing and reduce inflammation in the affected joint. Patients may experience improvement in pain and function over time, but the specific results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the condition.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of PRP therapy for knee and joint issues can vary, and not all patients may experience significant benefits. Additionally, the availability of PRP treatments and their specific protocols may differ from one medical facility or spa to another.
