PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) to Treat Orthopedic Conditions including Osteoarthritis

During the PRP procedure, the medical provider spins the blood in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate platelets. They inject it into the treatment area using micro-needling techniques.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. Osteoarthritis is most common in the joints of the knees, hips, hands, fingers, neck and spine, although it can affect any joint in the body.

The platelet-rich plasma procedure is non-invasive and can be done in your medical provider's office without anesthetic.

Using platelet-rich plasma may enable you to repair injured tissue and reduce pain from osteoarthritis. Not only that, but PRP accelerates healing to help you regain mobility, flexibility and well-being.

Various healthcare providers may perform the platelet-rich plasma procedure, including family physicians, physiotherapists and sports medicine physicians. Having a phlebotomist draw your blood isn't necessary.
