How Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy Work?
As a prominent part of the regenerative medicine field, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been a topic of much discussion for the last several years. Essentially, the process of undergoing PRP therapy begins like this: your blood is drawn by one of our podiatric specialists then put through a process called centrifugation which separates your platelets from other components of the blood sample. The concentrated platelets are then injected back into the injured region. Being that platelets contain growth factors that are responsible for forming blood clots, releasing a larger amount of them into your bloodstream allows for the accelerated healing of injuries.
