PRP for Tendon Injuries
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a treatment that uses your own blood to help heal tendon injuries. A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are cells that contain growth factors crucial for tissue repair. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the damaged tendon, aiming to boost the body's natural healing response. PRP can reduce pain and improve function, especially in chronic or stubborn tendon injuries, by promoting faster and more effective tissue regeneration.
