Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge medical procedure that harnesses the healing potential within a patient's own blood. By drawing a small blood sample, isolating and concentrating the platelets, and then strategically injecting the enriched plasma, PRP aims to stimulate tissue regeneration and accelerate healing. Widely utilized in fields like orthopedics, dermatology, and sports medicine, PRP represents an innovative approach to promoting natural healing processes for various medical conditions.

The platelets contain growth factors that are thought to promote tissue healing and regeneration. PRP is used in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dermatology, and sports medicine.
PRP involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the targeted area.
You may experience some discomfort, pain, or swelling at the injection site. This is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications as recommended by Dr. Creech. Depending on the nature of the PRP treatment and the area targeted, we may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and determine if additional treatments are necessary. The full benefits of PRP therapy may not be immediately apparent. It often takes some time for the healing and regeneration processes to occur. You may start to notice improvements in your symptoms over the course of several weeks to months.
