PRP injections, or platelet-rich plasma injections, are becoming increasingly popular treatment methods for a variety of common conditions, including hair loss, chronic muscle and tendon injuries, arthritis, and skin conditions.

At Natural Healing Arts Medical Center, we recommend PRP injections to patients who want a safe, effective, and minimally-invasive treatment with little downtime and no unwelcome side effects. If you’re interested in learning more about PRP injections in Bradenton, FL, contact us today.

What are Plasma and Platelets?

Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood, and is made up of water and protein. Plasma provides the medium through which red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets circulate through the body. Platelets, which are also called thrombocytes, are a type of blood cell that cause clotting and other necessary functions of growth and healing. Platelets also play a key role in the body’s natural healing processes.

What to Expect From PRP Injections

PRP injections consist of platelets from your own body, injected directly into the affected area. PRP is shown to accelerate the healing of an injury, which improves range of motion and mobility, reduces pain, and improves the appearance of skin.

When you visit our office for PRP injections, we will first take a few tubes of your own blood and run it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. Once the platelets are activated, we will inject them directly into your body tissue at the affected area. We may use ultrasound imaging to guide the PRP injections. After the injections are complete, you can resume your normal activities with no downtime.

Benefits of PRP Injections

PRP injections promote accelerated healing and can improve pain, increase mobility, reduce muscle stiffness and spasms, reduce inflammation, and improve certain skin conditions. We recommend our patients try PRP injections if they are suffering from rotator cuff tears, shoulder pain, Achilles tendon ruptures, arthritis, tendinitis, or other joint, muscle, or tendon conditions. We also use PRP injections to treat skin conditions, wrinkles, sun spots, and signs of aging.
