What Is PRP Therapy?

            Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is the treatment that utilizes the platelets in your blood to enhance and support healing at targeted areas. Your body utilizes these platelets in its regenerative process. For instance, whenever you are hurt, it directs the platelets to that area. These platelets enhance your blood clotting and supply the area with growth factors your body may use to repair the affected tissues.

            During PRP therapy, Dr. Manohar takes a small sample of your blood. He puts it in a centrifuge to accumulate the platelets into the PRP. He then utilizes imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound, to guide the target area’s PRP injection. The entry of PRP signals to your body triggers it to start the healing process and floods the area with growth factors, which your tissue may use to repair itself.
