Box Hill Superclinic offer Platelet Rich Plasma Injections at our Box Hill Clinic. PRP treatment involves injecting a patient’s own concentrated platelets directly into an injury or area requiring rejuvenation. Platelet rich plasma injections (PRP injections) can be used in the treatment of many musculoskeletal injuries including tendons, muscles and joints.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also referred to as platelet enriched plasma or platelet gel, is just a blood plasma product, which contains elevated amount of platelets and growth factors (at least four to ten times) than normal blood concentration.
An increased blood plasma concentration accentuates the injury healing process by releasing high number of growth factors at the injury site.Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints.
This way, PRP injections use every person patient's own healing system to boost musculoskeletal problems.Since the treatments work with a patient's own tissues, PRP injections are safe and can be administered alone or used along with other procedures.
Many individuals also wonder how long PRP injections last.
There have been studies done to suggest that PRP injections can succeed for 6-9 months.
Patient may feel more pain in the beginning, since we're causing swelling in the region that had been sore.
