Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The benefits of this Natural treatment lie in the process of removing a precise amount of the patient’s own blood and concentrating the platelets, creating a supra-physiologic concentration of platelets that are then preciously injected to improve functioning dependent upon the patient’s condition.
In the body, platelets are blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If an injury occurs to a blood vessel, the platelets migrate to the site of damage and form a plug (clot).
The benefits of Platelets is the 3-5 time concentration of growth factors and cytokines. These growth factors play an important role in Natural healing creating a localized inflammatory response that triggers a wound healing cascade. This results in the deposition of new collagen of which tendons and ligaments are composed. The new collagen contracts as it matures, providing stability to the injection site and reducing pain.

Collecting Platelets for Injection:

60cc blood from patient transferred to concentrating container

Serum separated from RBC’s after 1st centrifuge spin

Platelet plasma after 2nd centrifuge spin in different concentrating container

5-10cc platelets separated from plasma for injection
