PRP Therapy

---

 Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an increasingly popular  noninvasive treatment for musculoskeletal disorders. The team of  physiatrists at Spine & Sports Medical Group use this regenerative  medical therapy to repair damaged joints and provide pain relief to  countless patients in Campbell, California and San Jose, California. If  you suffer an injury or have chronic pain from an illness, call the  office or use the online scheduling tool to book a consultation and  learn about the various ways PRP can help your condition. 

Platelet-rich  plasma (PRP) therapy uses the natural regenerative properties of your  blood to treat a wide range of conditions. Platelets are a component of  your blood that are rich in growth factors and proteins, and they play a  crucial role in healing your body’s injuries. 

At Spine &  Sports Medical Group, the team uses PRP to help repair damaged skeletal  and muscular tissues without invasive surgery, which typically requires  additional specialists and a longer recovery period. With PRP there’s  also no risk of allergies or side effects, since you use plasma from  your own blood.

During your  treatment, a team member from Spine & Sports Medical Group takes a  sample of your blood and runs it through a centrifuge machine. The  centrifugal process separates platelets from other blood matter,  producing a platelet-concentrated solution that is injected back into  targeted areas where you have an injury. 

Once injected, the  platelet solution can help reduce inflammation and pain, increase your  range of motion, and stimulate tissue regeneration, so the injured or  diseased joint essentially repairs itself.

As  a regenerative medical treatment, PRP therapy has a wide range of  applications, from cosmetic revitalization to musculoskeletal repairs.  At Spine & Sports Medical Group, the team uses PRP therapy to treat  diseases that cause chronic pain and injure your muscles, tendons,  ligaments, and bones. PRP is an effective treatment for specific  conditions, including:

• Arthritic joints
  
• Tendon and ligament tears
  
• Plantar fasciitis
  
• Overuse injuries
  
• Degenerative spinal conditions
  

The procedure is minimally invasive, relatively painless, and can be completed at the clinic within an hour.

PRP  therapy can offer a permanent solution to pain and damage brought on by  a disease or injury. The practice offers this treatment as an  alternative to surgery, which has benefits such as:

• No need for anesthesia
  
• No chance of surgical complications
  
• No hospital stay
  
• Shorter recovery period

With  PRP your body does the work to heal itself, and as the targeted tissues  grow and become stronger, you see a noticeable improvement in your  joint function and a reduction of any chronic pain.

PRP  therapy is safe for most people, unless you have a blood disorder or a  condition that affects the quality of your blood, like:

• Hepatitis C
  
• HIV/AIDS
  
• Blood cancer
  
• Skin cancer

Blood-related  conditions like these affect blood-platelet levels and compromise their  healing properties, which makes your blood ineffective in giving you  the desired results for musculoskeletal regeneration and repair.
