What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Therapy offers hope for those suffering from musculoskeletal conditions. By harnessing the incredible healing potential within your own blood, PRP therapy offers many benefits. Our Toronto clinic is dedicated to providing relief for our patients.
PRP Therapy’s Benefits
- Tissue Repair: PRP therapy offers a concentrated platelet form that facilitates tissue repair. Since the platelets are derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or incompatibility is virtually eliminated.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Inflammation is often the root cause of musculoskeletal conditions. PRP therapy’s ability to reduce inflammation promotes healing and restores comfort.
- Versatile Solutions: PRP therapy is a versatile option that relieves various musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, and chronic plantar fasciitis.
During and After the Procedure
- Painless and Convenient: A typical PRP therapy appointment takes 45-90 minutes. It’s a relatively non-invasive procedure that ensures minimal disruption to your daily life.
- Post-Procedure: Following PRP therapy, some individuals might experience minor swelling or soreness at the treatment site. Simple solutions like applying ice or heat to the area can alleviate these symptoms. While relief may not be instantaneous, many patients start noticing improvements within a few weeks – reduced pain and better mobility.
Considerations and Potential Risks
Please keep our healthcare providers informed if you have any of the following factors: a bleeding disorder, chronic infections, pregnancy, the use of anticoagulation medication, or a history of cancer. This information will allow us to tailor the treatment to ensure your safety.
Potential Side Effects: While possible side effects are generally mild, it is still vital to be aware of them. These may include minor bleeding, tenderness, swelling, bruising, mild nausea, dizziness, or a temporary increase in pain. Our experienced team can prescribe medications to manage discomfort, making your PRP therapy as comfortable as possible.
