What is Enriched Plasma PRP Treatment?
Enriched plasma, also known as PRP or platelet‒rich plasma, is a specialized treatment that improves your body's natural healing processes. Your blood is made up of several components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets are tiny cells that are crucial for blood clotting, while plasma acts as the fluid transporting these cells.
Enriched plasma is obtained from this mixture. Our service providers take a small sample of your blood and place it in a centrifuge. This device rapidly spins the blood, separating platelets and plasma from other components. As a result, the plasma is then combined with a higher concentration of platelets, creating enriched plasma.
The resulting enriched plasma boasts a higher concentration of platelets filled with growth factors – natural substances that speed up your body's healing process. Our providers inject this mixture into the affected area, such as a sore muscle or injured joint, promoting localized healing.
We incorporate this protocol into our Joint Rejuvenation Protocols, which help with recovery from sports injuries, arthritis treatment, inflammation reduction, and other aesthetic procedures where the body benefits from improved healing or rejuvenation support.
Why PRP Therapy Is A Trusted Solution
PRP therapy is a progressive treatment that improves your body's natural healing potential. By harnessing the power of platelets ‒ tiny blood particles rich in growth factors ‒ it stimulates healing and repair processes naturally. When injected into injured or damaged areas, enriched plasma releases these growth factors, boosting the recovery process.
Growth factors in enriched plasma promote the growth of new cells and blood vessels, rejuvenating damaged tissues. They also help reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed healing. By reducing inflammation, enriched plasma promotes faster and more efficient recovery after injuries and accidents. Less inflammation means a faster return to the activities you love.
In essence, enriched plasma delivers a concentrated blend of healing elements directly to the injury site. This targeted approach supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms, causing recovery and restoring normal function sooner.
At Thrive Medical Centers, we use this innovative and natural approach to empower your body's incredible healing abilities.
FAQs About PRP Therapy
How is Enriched Plasma Treatment Performed?
Treatment with enriched plasma begins with the extraction of a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then centrifuged to separate platelets and plasma from other blood components. The plasma is subsequently enriched with a higher concentration of platelets before being injected directly into the injured or damaged area. This process uses the growth factors and healing properties inherent in platelets to aid in repair and recovery.
What Type of Patient is Eligible for Enriched Plasma (PRP) Treatment?
Enriched plasma is highly versatile and integrated into our Joint Rejuvenation Protocols, benefiting patients with conditions such as sports injuries, arthritis, tendinitis, joint pain, and ligament injuries. It also holds promise for reducing inflammation, a critical factor in chronic pain and degenerative joint disease. Enriched plasma is especially good for patients looking for a natural, non-surgical path to healing.
What is the Joint Rejuvenation Protocol?
At Thrive Medical, we understand that each patient is unique, so our Joint Rejuvenation Protocol is tailored to individual needs. Our experienced healthcare team uses a protocol derived from nearly a dozen proven treatment modalities. This protocol is designed to restore function, improve tissue and joint health, reduce pain, and restore functionality. Our goal is to help you live an active, pain-free life!
How Long Does it Take to See Results from Enriched Plasma Treatment?
The time it takes to heal depends on individual circumstances and the severity of the injury or condition. With our Joint Rejuvenation Protocols, some patients see improvement within a week, while others may take months to achieve optimal results. Our medical team creates individualized care plans tailored to your needs to maximize progress. We treat everyone like we would our own family.
