PRP Therapy for Early Arthritis & Ligament Injuries

In order to restore injured cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, or even bone, platelet-rich plasma therapy, also known as PRP therapy or autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) therapy, aims to take use of the blood’s inherent healing abilities.

PRP can strengthen repaired tendons and ligaments by increasing fibroblast proliferation and collagen formation, which has been shown to increase both the number of cells and the cellular component15,17,100,101. Studies have shown that PRP injections may be helpful for 6 to 9 months. The length of time that a PRP treatment is effective, however, depends on a number of variables.

To hasten the repair of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves injections of a patient’s own concentrated platelets. PRP injections work to treat musculoskeletal issues by enhancing each patient’s natural healing process.
