What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections utilize the body’s own healing mechanisms to accelerate tissue repair. PRP involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. These growth factors play a crucial role in tissue regeneration, promoting cell growth, collagen production, and the formation of new blood vessels. The concentrated platelets are then injected with ultrasound-guidance into the target area to facilitate healing.

How is PRP different from cortisone?

PRP differs from cortisone injections primarily in their mode of action. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that provides temporary relief by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation. On the other hand, PRP harnesses the body’s natural healing potential to stimulate tissue repair, offering a more holistic and oftentimes, a longer-lasting solution.

Why use ultrasound-guidance?

Ultrasound-guided PRP injections enhance accuracy and effectiveness. With real-time imaging, the exact site of injury or inflammation can be visualized, ensuring precise needle placement for optimal PRP delivery. This approach minimizes the risk of improper placement or damage to surrounding tissues. Without ultrasound guidance, these injections lack precision and might lead to suboptimal outcomes and unnecessary discomfort/tissue damage. Ultrasound-guided PRP injections improve patient outcomes by maximizing the benefits of the therapy, reducing the need for repeated injections, and minimizing the risk of complications.
