Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy in Jupiter/ Palm Beach County Florida

What Is Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)?

Blood is mostly made up of plasma, red cells, white cells, and platelets –which are most famously known for their role in clotting blood. Platelets also contain growth factor proteins which regulate the growth of cells as well as their division, and help repair injuries. PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) is plasma with a greater concentration of platelets — and, as a result, concentration of growth factors. This will cause the injured area, which has been introduced with PRP to heal at a much faster rate.
To receive PRP, blood is drawn from a patient and then the platelets are separated from other blood cells by centrifugation, or spinning. They are then mixed with the patient’s own blood sample until a platelet concentration well above baseline is attained.
How Does PRP Work?
The inflamed/injured  area/tissue can be directly injected with the PRP, alongside, thus improving the healing by treating the injured area with PRP to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. Basically, it can be applied to various musculoskeletal problems.

As with any medical procedure, it will vary from person to person but typically we see the following trends. Day one after PRP most patients report minor discomfort at the injection site due to the induced inflammation.  The stiffness goes away usually within a day or so and may last up to a week. After a week many patients report a decrease in pain  and over the next few weeks will report improvements in mobility as the PRP begins to repair and heal the effected areas. The maximum effect of PRP is usually seen 4-6 weeks after the procedure and is when a patient can tell us if they are 50, 60, 70% healed or more. Variation will occur due to severity and complexity of injuries and several factors such as adherence to medical advice and genetics. The once thing thats certain is PRP can only help and most everyone who undergoes the procedure has been impressed with the results.
