PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is concentrated platelets in blood plasma, derived from your own blood. These platelets are a great source of proteins that contain growth factors. Growth factors are integral in your body’s ability to heal and regenerate your own tissues, which include: bones, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Utilization of PRP will accelerate your ability to heal whatever damage has been done.
In order to make PRP, a small amount of your own blood is taken, placed in a centrifuge, and spun to separate it. I use advanced technology to ensure that we get the perfect concentration of platelets needed to optimize your own ability to heal. This entire process takes about 15-20 minutes. Once the PRP is injected, your body will know what to do, as mild inflammation causes stimulation of the healing cascade of your tendons and ligaments.
At Valley Vital Medicine, I always use PRP with Prolo-Ozone because they work together and the results are exponentially improved over using either one individually.
