Using the Latest Breakthroughs with State-of-the-Art PRP Therapy
ValleyOrtho offers nonsurgical methods and regenerative applications to
treat conditions ranging from
sports injuries to arthritis. In addition, these techniques provide better outcomes with
certain orthopedic surgical procedures. Our specialty-trained physicians
craft a treatment plan for each and every patient to fit their individual goals.
What is PRP therapy?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It’s a specific type of plasma
found in your blood. PRP has more platelets than are typically found in
blood. These platelets contain certain proteins that help injuries heal
faster. Platelets are responsible for releasing proteins known as growth
factors, which aid in the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
During the platelet rich plasma injection procedure, a small amount of
blood is drawn from the patient and inserted in a centrifuge, which spins
and forms a high concentration of platelets. The platelet rich blood is
then injected back into the patient’s problematic site.
What are the benefits of PRP therapy?
PRP helps tissues heal faster. Researchers believe that this procedure
has been successful because it essentially uses the body’s own healing
method to treat tendon and ligament problems. Our physicians at ValleyOrtho
apply this to many joints of the body including the shoulder, elbow, hip
and knee. Researchers are still studying this promising treatment to determine
other potential benefits.
Being at the cutting edge of the latest research is one of the many advantages
of selecting ValleyOrtho as your provider. Success is contingent upon
physicians that ensure the latest techniques are applied effectively.
Patients can be confident that ValleyOrtho is current in the promising
new technique of PRP therapy.
