PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

What is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a product made from platelets taken from your blood. Platelets are known for their role in clotting blood, but research shows they also contain a rich source of proteins called growth factors. These growth factors in the platelets stimulate new cell growth to aid in wound healing and the replacement of damaged or diseased tissues.

​

PRP injections are also helpful for accelerating healing in tissues damaged by surgeries. PRP is a popular and effective treatment for sports injuries, and many professional athletes use PRP therapy.

​

Because the harvested platelets are from a patient's blood, there is no rejection reaction. The platelets produce a concentrated dose of growth factors that your provider at A&M Wellness Centre can inject back into your body. There, the growth factors get to work boosting your body's natural healing abilities.
