Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Athletes and other energetic people who endure constant pain from injuries or osteoarthritis get relief from non surgical procedure which is referred as Platelet Rich Plasma therapy. It is the therapy which uses the blood platelets from the own blood of the sports person to rebuild a cartilage or damaged tendon. It not only relieves the pain successfully but also heals the pain completely. The therapy is performed in a test room during which the patients blood is removed and positioned in a centrifuge, nearly for 10-15 minutes in order to split the platelets. Then the PRP is infused into the injured part of the tendon with the help of an ultrasound machine.
During the process, patients are placed on certain program of rest tracked by physical therapy for about 6 weeks. Later, patients are re-assessed for development where some patients with more difficulty require more than one injection to achieve better results.
