What is platelet-rich plasma therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses your body’s platelets to heal injuries.
Platelets are found in the blood and play a key role in its ability to clot. They also contain proteins that help heal ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
Concentrating platelets into plasma increases their healing factors by five to ten times. When injected into the site of your pain, they encourage healing in the area.
How does regenerative therapy treat chronic pain?
Degeneration or damage to your body often causes chronic pain. Regenerative medicine therapies prompt your body to use its healthy cells to repair the damaged tissue that’s causing your pain.
During regenerative therapy treatment, Dr. Ariel and Dr. Roland Nassim harvest healthy stem cell tissue from your body that matches the cellular assignment of the damaged tissue causing your pain. Then they inject the harvested healthy tissue into your pain site.
Your damaged cells begin regenerating when they recognize the new healthy cells that have entered your system. This cell regeneration stimulates healing, which reduces pain.
