Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment offered by Grand Oak Healthcare that utilizes the body’s own healing properties to promote tissue repair and regeneration. PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and cytokines essential for healing. This concentrated plasma is then injected directly into the targeted area, such as joints, tendons, or skin, stimulating natural healing processes.

The administration of PRP involves a straightforward procedure. Our physicians will draw a small amount of your blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. Once the PRP is prepared, it is injected into the affected area under sterile conditions.

The benefits of PRP therapy are numerous. It can enhance healing in sports injuries, reduce joint pain from conditions like arthritis, and improve skin texture and tone in aesthetic applications. PRP is known for its minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities shortly after treatment. Additionally, as a natural therapy, PRP carries a lower risk of adverse reactions compared to synthetic treatments, making it a safe and effective option for various medical and cosmetic needs.
