PRP Injections Slough

The liquid component of our blood is called Plasma. Blood has 3 primary solid components: Platelets, White blood cells and red blood cells. The body blood has millions of platelets which are crucial for blood clotting. Additionally, Platelets contain growth factors, which enables our body to reduce and recover the inflammation in painful body tissues. Platelet- rich plasma therapy briefly known as PRP, is plasma with high concentrated plasma with of our own blood’s platelets used to heal the inflammation.
Because the platelets are produced naturally by our body, so PRP treatment is considered having a more natural and long-lasting effect than steroids injections. This treatment is used as a primary method to combat inflammation or already tried steroid therapy fails to combat the disease.

The big vein in your elbow will first be used by your doctor to take roughly 10 cc of blood. Your blood will next be treated and centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma. A specimen of normal blood only has 6% platelets, whereas platelet-rich plasma has 94% platelets and 5–10 times the amount of growth factors as normal blood, giving it better healing potential. The injured area of your body is then given a local anaesthetic, so the therapy is comfortable. Followed by an injection of the platelet-rich component of your blood. Your doctor uses ultrasound guidance for placing needles correctly in the target area. It’s an innovative, beneficial non-surgical treatment for inflammation and discomfort in joints, tendons, and soft tissues. This Encourages growth factors and promotes natural healing.
