PRP For Muscle, Tendon And Joint Pain

What Is PRP For Muscle, Tendon And Joint Pain

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections involve utilizing your blood to extract and concentrate platelets and growth factors.

The concentrated PRP is then carefully injected into the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. These growth factors and platelets aid in tissue regeneration, reducing inflammation, and promoting the repair of damaged muscle, tendon, and joint tissues.
