Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Plasma Rich Platelet Therapy is now available in Miami at Advanced Footcare.
Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) therapy was initially used over 20 years ago by dentists to enhance wound healing. Now this effective therapy is being used by many medical practitioners as an alternative to surgery. The philosophy is to merge cutting-edge technology with the body's natural ability to heal itself. The experts at Advanced Footcare are utilizing Platelet Rich Plasma therapy to promote faster healing of soft tissue injuries.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet Rich Plasma is derived from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed through a centrifuge to concentrate the healing platelets to several times their normal level. This concentration of growth factors and bioactive proteins is then injected directly into the injured tissue to accelerate natural healing processes.
A Proven Alternative to Surgery
PRP received significant publicity after Pittsburgh Steeler star Hines Ward used the treatment to resolve a nagging knee injury in time to help the Steelers win the Super Bowl. Since then, it has become an increasingly popular regenerative therapy among both professional athletes and everyday patients seeking an effective, minimally invasive solution.
Who Can Benefit?
PRP therapy is effective for a wide range of soft tissue injuries and chronic conditions. Because it uses the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal, making it a safe and natural treatment option for most patients.
