Platelets are best known for their ability to coagulate to stop bleeding; however, new evidence indicates that platelets also produce growth factors needed to mend and strengthen damaged tissues. By extracting a patient’s plasma and centrifuging it, these important substances can be isolated. After separation, they are placed in a syringe and injected into a specific area or joint, such as the knee or hip, giving the damaged tissues more than enough healing factors to begin the process of repair.
Harnessing
the innate power of the body to heal is one of the keys to optimal
repair and regeneration. Natural substances found in the plasma are
necessary to healing damaged cells and tissues. Platelet-rich plasma
therapy utilizes these substances, providing areas of injury or disease
with a concentrated dose of the body’s own specific platelets, proteins
and growth factors.
