PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy

Some of the most celebrated athletes in the world swear by PRP therapy. PRP therapy makes headlines in the medical industry. Time and again, it proves itself effective in the treatment of foot and ankle injuries.

How PRP therapy works

Platelets in the body have various functions. Their primary role is to assist in blood clotting, so that we do not bleed excessively when we get a cut. Platelets also carry proteins that assist with the healing of wounds.

PRP therapy works by injection into the tissue that is damaged or inflamed. It promotes the healing of wounds. The increased concentration of platelets in the area helps it heal faster.

PRP treatment boosts our natural healing process, because it speeds up the gathering of bioactive proteins in the damaged location. PRP therapy also increases the production of collagen in the inflamed area, so it can heal faster.
