During this procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the rest of the blood. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the affected joint, stimulating your body's natural healing process. Platelet-Rich Plasma injections are a popular choice for treating chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis and various injuries, including torn or strained ligaments and tendons, due to their potential to promote new tissue growth and repair damage. The best part is there are essentially no draw-backs from this procedure since it uses your own blood!
