What is PRP injection therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a healing process for injuries. Doctors suggest that PRP injections cure the torn or injured tendons, skin, joints, muscles, and ligaments of a human body. It not only repairs body tissues but also enhances the functionality of diseased tissues. Many players prefer PRP injection for their injuries. Rafael Nodal (Tennis star) and Tiger Woods (Golf star) have done PRP therapy for the recovery of their wounds/injuries.
How does PRP injection therapy work?
Platelet-rich plasma is a technique of healing wounds or tissues using the blood of the injured person. Doctors carry plasma from the blood from the injured person. He centrifuges the blood plasma until it gets concentrated with the platelets. After completing this process, the doctor injected platelet-rich plasma of the blood into the injured or diseased part of the body as tissues, ligaments, and tendons. It starts to recover the injured part of the body very quickly.
Most doctors use an ultrasound machine to complete this healing process. They take help from an ultrasound machine to see torn or injured body tissues. After seeing from the ultrasound machine, they carry on the process of injection therapy. Ultrasound machine proves very helpful because it diminishes the chances to get platelet-rich plasma into an active tissue instead of injured or diseased tissues.
