One of the main complaints that patients have when they visit a physical therapist is pain in the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and back. This type of ailment can be remedied using an advanced therapy called PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy. Once you know the benefits of PRP you may find that this is the right solution for your muscle or joint pain. PRP treatment is available when you visit Dr. Darin Bush at Mobility Spine and Sports in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
What Is PRP Treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is a series of injections aimed at hastening the healing process after an injury or bodily trauma. It uses plasma and platelets from the patient’s blood to help regenerate and reproduce cells for healing. The blood is placed in a centrifugal machine that separates the elements (red and white cells, platelets, and plasma) and creates the platelet-rich injectable solution. The shots are given to the areas of pain, such as the back, elbows, and knees.
How Can PRP Treatment Help?
PRP helps patients who need a non-surgical way to get relief from pain and lack of mobility from joint, tendon, and muscle issues. PRP treatment is usually administered in addition to other therapies by your Fort Lauderdale, FL doctor, like guided exercises, osteopathic manipulation, massage, ice and heat packs, bracing, and anti-inflammatory medications to improve and speed up the healing process. It is also used after surgical procedures to help reduce the recovery time needed.
A Natural Solution
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a natural and effective way to treat injuries and ease pain in the body. Since it’s your cells, there’s little chance of any adverse reactions from the injections. Maintaining a good diet and continuing a moderate exercise routine is important when you are undergoing PRP treatments if you want the best results.
