Is Regenerative PRP Therapy Right for You? Conditions and Injuries That Can Benefit from PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical regenerative treatment that leverages the body’s own healing power to address a range of musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments.

By concentrating platelets from the patient’s blood and injecting them into injured areas (read more about how PRP works), PRP can stimulate tissue repair and accelerate recovery for a number of injuries and conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis
  Whether you call it cartilage loss, bone spurs, bone-on-bone, or degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis breaks down cartilage and tissue in joints, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited mobility.
  
  PRP can help to stimulate the natural repair of joint cartilage, reduce inflammation, slow the progression of mild to moderate arthritis, and improve mobility and pain. It can be a valuable option for those with osteoarthritis, especially when looking to delay or avoid more invasive procedures like knee replacement.
  
  
• Tendon injuries (tendinopathy)
  PRP therapy can help reinforce the healing process, support joint stability, and reduce unresolved post-injury pain from:
  • Achilles tendon injuries
  • Rotator cuff injury
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Tennis elbow
  • Jumper’s knee (patellar tendonitis)
    
    
• Plantar fasciitis
  Plasma-rich therapy is clinically proven to reduce pain and improve function in patients with plantar fasciitis.

An evaluation with a Gaylord physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor can help determine if PRP therapy fits your specific condition and health goals.
