What Can PRP Therapy Do for You?

If you’ve been paying attention to health news over the last few years, you’ve likely already heard of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), but you may not be entirely familiar with what it is and how it works. In this article, we’ll go over what PRP therapy actually is and what it can do for you to give you lasting relief from a number of injuries and degenerative disorders.

What Is PRP Therapy?

When you come in for PRP therapy, a sample of your blood will be drawn and then put through a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This is then injected into the site where you’re experiencing pain, and the growth factors in the PRP will go to work to help regenerate hard and soft tissue in that area. Unlike treatment with narcotics or steroids, PRP therapy doesn’t hide pain – it actually treats the cause of the pain.

Permanent Relief From Hip Osteoarthritis

Many people seek out PRP therapy for hip osteoarthritis, as it helps with pain and hip degeneration, as well. These people have been living with incredible pain and often have mobility issues, and they’ve been seeking pain management in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, and Southlake. With PRP therapy, they can actually get lasting relief instead of going home with a prescription for narcotics or a steroid shot that will only last a few weeks at most before they need more treatments.

Healing Instead of Masking Pain

PRP therapy works by actually triggering the body’s healing responses and providing the growth factors that the body needs to regenerate bone, cartilage, and muscle tissue. Thus, it may actually be able to reverse hip degeneration and damage to other joints from osteoarthritis, injury, or trauma.

Other forms of pain management only treat the symptoms, and they only work for a little while. If the body isn’t equipped to heal itself, as is the case with most people with hip osteoarthritis, traditional treatments will only go so far before surgery is necessary. With PRP therapy, a lot of our patients avoid the need for surgery and experience real healing instead of treatments that simply manage their pain for a little while.
