Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injuries to tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. The process involves drawing blood, separating the platelets through centrifugation, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the affected area. PRP is used to treat conditions like osteoarthritis and sports injuries, with benefits including accelerated healing and reduced pain, which may help patients avoid surgery. However, there are potential risks, such as infection or pain at the injection site.
