What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
PRP injections are a type of minimally invasive orthobiologic treatment that help reduce pain, promote healing and restore function. A PRP injection is made from your own blood using plasma-rich platelets separated from your blood cells and injected back into your body. PRP therapy uses the platelets in your blood because it contains nutrients and proteins that help encourage new cell growth.Plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow are some conditions treated with PRP injections. This treatment is also used to treat inflamed tendons and ligaments in the knee and hip.
Call 248-865-4238 to schedule an appointment and ask your doctor if platelet-rich plasma injections are right for you.
