PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is a concentrated form of healing factors that is produced from your own cells. It contains healing factors such as white blood cells and bioactive proteins, called growth factors and stem cell markers that are vital for tissue regeneration and repair. With advanced techniques we can concentrate these regenerative healing cells in a simple outpatient setting.

Benefits of PRP are:

• Minimally invasive.
• Minimal to no down time.
• Speeds up and promotes healing.
• Natural and organic, autologous from your own body.
• Less side effects when compared to steroid injections or surgery.

PRP injections are a great treatment option for issues with tendons, ligaments, and joints. This includes injuries to the rotator cuff, tennis or golfers’ elbow, jumpers’ knee, and osteoarthritis.

Not all PRP is created equal and Dr. Andrea Emde only offers the highest quality preparation methods to ensure optimal outcomes.
