What is PRP therapy?
This detailed video explains the entire process of PRP therapy, including the creation of a mixture called "platelet rich plasma" and the injection of it into your damaged tissues. After the injection, you can go home. You may need to come back for more injections as you heal. Who is a good candidate for PRP therapy? You may be a candidate for PRP if you have an orthopaedic condition that has not improved enough with more traditional treatments and your doctor believes your injury may respond to a biologic treatment.
