Facts About PRP Therapy
PRP isn’t a novel treatment. Although it appears to be a newer treatment, PRP was developed in the 1970s and was first used in an open heart surgery procedure in Italy in 1987. PRP therapy became popular in the mid-1990s. It has since been used in a variety of medical fields, including sports medicine, pain management, cosmetic surgery, and dentistry.
PRP is created using the patient's own blood. PRP is plasma that has been enriched with blood platelets. How is this accomplished? A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the red blood cells and other components of the blood. This procedure aims to isolate and enrich plasma, which contains five times the number of platelets found in whole blood. Plasma is the straw-colored liquid in which blood cells are found. Platelets are microscopic bodies that aid in wound healing.
PRP therapy is extremely safe. PRP therapy has been known as a safe way to speed up healing. There is no risk of rejection, adverse reaction, or disease transmission because PRP is drawn from the patient's own blood and received by the same patient.
PRP produces virtually no side effects PRP is made from the patient's own blood, making it a very natural and extremely safe procedure. It may be mildly painful at the time of injection, depending on the patient's pain tolerance, but it is definitely bearable.
Do you want a quick and painless treatment for your back pain or knee osteoarthritis?
Consider this scenario: your cat scratches you, leaving a red wound. Within minutes, it stops bleeding, and before you know it, a scab has formed, and the scratch is on its way to healing. Isn't it simple? You can thank your platelets for your speedy recovery. Blood is made up of plasma (the liquid) and solid components such as red and white blood cells, as well as platelets. Each component serves its purpose, and the purpose of platelets is to clot blood at wound sites and help heal them. They're the reason you won't bleed from a paper cut — and, it turns out, they may provide benefits in the form of platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, therapy.
What Is the PRP Therapy Process?
PRP therapy is a simple procedure that can be completed in under two hours. It does not necessitate hospitalization and can be performed as an outpatient procedure. PRP therapy does not require any preparations, unlike blood tests, which require the patient to refrain from eating or drinking for up to 12 hours beforehand. The patient is only advised to hydrate well in advance because higher levels of water in the body make blood drawing easier for the doctor. If you take corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), you must stop taking them up to a week before PRP therapy and not resume taking them immediately afterward. They will disrupt PRP therapy and possibly negate any results. PRP therapy involves the following steps:
