Patient outcomes are our #1 priority at Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection Treatments contain healing growth components from your own blood that increase your body’s natural ability to repair itself. Like espresso shots for construction workers, platelet injection treatments also have a stimulating effect on the stem cells within the targeted area, making those cells work harder to heal damaged tissues.
Platelet Rich Plasma Procedures
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), is a non-surgical blood platelet treatment that is typically used to treat bulging and herniated discs, muscle strains & tears, ligament & tendon tears, minor arthritis, and for joint maintenance.
PRP injections cost less than stem cell procedures and commonly used in less severe injuries and orthopedic conditions. The concentrated blood platelet injection contains healing growth components that increase the body’s natural ability to repair itself.
PRP treatments can be effective because platelets have a stimulating effect on the stem cells within the targeted area. Stem cells are found throughout the entire body and play a key role in repairing damaged tissue, so a primary goal in platelet treatments is to get these powerful cells to work harder and faster.
PRP is the Most Widely Used Non-surgical Treatment Worldwide
PRP treatments can be effective especially when combined with Laser because platelets have a stimulating effect on the stem cells within the targeted area.
