PRP makes use of the natural healing and recuperative processes of the\nbody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PRP therapy involves a concentration of\nplatelets being obtained and then injected into the damaged tendons, ligaments\nand joints in order to promote tissue repair and healing. The platelets are\nvery rich in growth and healing factors. This means that on an average once an\ninjured individual goes through the procedure, he or she can return to a normal\npain-free activity within about 4 to 6 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While PRP has been around for some time, it\nwas actually made popular by amateur and professional athletes as they used it\nfor treating conditions like stiffness, swelling, tenderness, pain and\ninflammation. The following conditions can be treated with PRP therapy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lumbar\nspine disc pains<\/li><li>Shoulder\ninstability and pain<\/li><li>Rotator\ncuff injuries like partial-thickness<\/li><li>Hamstring\nstrains and hip strains<\/li><li>Golfer\u2019s\nand tennis elbow<\/li><li>Patellofemoral\nsyndrome <\/li><li>Knee\nsprains and associated instability<\/li><li>Plantar\nfasciitis<\/li><li>Ankle\nsprains<\/li><li>Patellar\ntendonitis<\/li><li>Achilles\ntendonitis <\/li><li>Nerve\nentrapment syndromes like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome<\/li><li>Knee, hips\nand other types of joint osteoarthritis<\/li><li>Cervical\nfacet and lumbar dysfunction and pains<\/li><li>Sacroiliac\njoint dysfunction and associated pains<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> The good thing about PRP is that it provides patients with a highly effective and permanent medical solution that is not going to wear off over the course of time. <a href=\"https:\/\/londonmskcentre.co.uk\/treatments\/platelet-rich-plasma-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"PRP therapy (opens in a new tab)\">PRP therapy<\/a> is an effective alternative to surgery in many cases. However, the success of PRP also depends on the severity of pain or injury. Many non-operative medical options that have been in use for a long time focus on eradicating the pain and discomfort without actually remedying the underlying factors. In this sense PRP stands out from other non-surgical treatments, as it can achieve complete and permanent recovery from painful conditions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP, works as a permanent and non-surgical treatment of various types of conditions, such as arthritis, tears, damages and sprains that affect the ligaments and tendons.
