What is PRP Joint Injections?
PRP joint injections are an innovative regenerative treatment that uses your body's own platelets to accelerate healing and tissue repair in damaged joints. PRP is obtained by drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that help stimulate the body's natural healing processes. PRP is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, ligament injuries, and tendonitis.
