PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a treatment that uses a special part of your own blood to help repair knee damage.🦵🏻 This therapy works by injecting platelet-rich blood directly into the knee area.💉 Platelets are tiny cells in your blood that are responsible for clotting and contain growth factors, which might help heal injured tissues and promote the growth of new cells.
Your blood has four main parts: plasma, platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. Platelets, specifically, have a role in supporting the body’s healing.📋 According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, PRP therapy can be useful for reducing pain, improving mobility, and helping with stiffness. A study in 2022 involving 153 people found that after six months, PRP treatment showed significant improvement in knee pain, movement, and overall quality of life.✨🌟 Contact F&M Regenerative Medicine today to see if PRP can work for you!
