The Power of Platelets
The Power of Platelets
Blood contains platelets and fibrinogen, which play a crucial role in
blood clotting and also carry certain growth factors that promote wound
healing.1-7
PRP is derived from your own blood, which has been processed to
concentrate the platelets. When injected into the injured site, these
concentrated platelets contain powerful growth factors that can
jumpstart the healing of injured tendons and ligaments by stimulating
tissue repair and regeneration.1-8
Common conditions that can be treated with PRP include tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles injuries, patellar and quadriceps tendinosis, and partial rotator cuff tears.
