Platelet Rich Plasma
Frequently Asked Questions
Relief of chronic pain
- Regenerative cell procedures can provide relief of chronic pain by potentially healing damaged tissue, building new tissue, reducing inflammation and preventing scar tissue from forming in the injured area.
Lowered Risk
- Compared to traditional surgeries, regenerative cell procedures are extremely low risk, as the patients’ own cells are used to heal the injured areas. There is also no need for general anesthesia to be used, so all of the risks associated with that are removed.
Avoid Surgery
- Cell-based orthopedic treatments can potentially help patients avoid invasive and intense surgeries such as joint replacements.
Little Downtime
- Patients are able to avoid the lengthy periods of downtime and painful rehabilitation that typically follow invasive surgeries. This is an especially important factor for athletes of all levels. Regenerative Medicine patients are encouraged to move around as much as they comfortably can following the procedure and start physical therapy just a couple of days afterward.
Continued Healing
- Healing continues for weeks and months after the procedure as the regenerative cells work to repair the damaged areas and improve the health of the tissues and bone.
Platelet rich plasma has been used since the 1990s. Thousands of injections have been performed across the globe. It is both a safe and effective treatment. At The Osteopathic Way we take every precaution to make sure that your procedure is both a safe and pleasant experience.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection is a process in which the blood is used to obtain regenerative tissues. This process works by drawing blood similar to what happens when a family doctor checks labs. Using a special process we are able to concentrate the platelets into Platelet Rich Plasma.
At The Osteopathic Way, we use either of 2 main types of Platelet Rich Plasma depending on the exact diagnosis. We may even use a combination of both products to give you the best chance to heal.
