Platelet-rich plasma therapy or PRP, is an advanced treatment option that uses the patient's own blood components to stimulate the body's healing process in the damaged or injured area causing pain.
Our blood is comprised of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma proteins, and platelets. Platelets are known to release powerful growth factors into the blood stream that stimulates advanced healing in soft tissue. PRP therapy allows physicians the ability to isolate and concentrate the platelets found within the blood, creating a potent solution of natural protein rich growth factors that can be used to treat a variety of chronic pain conditions.
Farmbrook Interventional Pain & EMG is currently offering two options of platelet rich plasma therapy, standard platelet rich plasma (PRP) and leukocyte depleted protein enriched platelet rich Plasma, (L-PRP)
