Description

Plasma therapy, also known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an effective biological treatment widely used to relieve various joint issues and support recovery processes. The procedure involves injecting platelet-rich plasma, derived from the patient’s own blood, directly into the affected tissues. Platelets contain essential growth factors that accelerate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain, helping to improve joint function and strengthen joints and tendons.

PRP procedure course and duration:

• Kuur: Typically, 1-3 PRP treatments are recommended, depending on the severity of the injury or condition. Procedures are performed every 2-4 weeks to allow for natural tissue healing.
• Duration: Each procedure lasts approximately 30-60 minutes, including blood draw, plasma separation and injection.
• Effect Duration: Patients usually begin to feel improvement within 2-6 weeks after the first treatment, with full results typically appearing over 3-6 months.

Indications:

• Osteoarthritis: Helps improve the condition of joint cartilage and reduce inflammation, especially in the knee and hip joints.
• Chronic joint pain: Particularly effective for knee, hip, shoulder and neck pain.
• Tendinitis and tendon inflammation: For conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and Achilles tendon injuries.
• Sports injuries: Ligament and tendon injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, that require faster recovery.
• Spine-related issues: Neck and lower back pain, as well as wrist and hip joint discomfort.

Contraindications:

• Blood disorders: Bleeding disorders, such as thrombocytopenia or coagulation issues.
• Active infections: The procedure should not be performed during inflammatory processes or infections, especially at the injection site.
• Immune system disorders: Patients with autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiency should avoid the procedure.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.: Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Important Information:

• Minimal recovery time: Mild swelling or soreness may occur at the injection site after the procedure, typically subsiding within a few days.
• Benefits: Since PRP uses components derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of side effects is minimal, making it a safe and natural alternative to invasive treatments or medications.
• Suitability: PRP is suitable for both young and elderly patients, athletes, and individuals with an active lifestyle who wish to prevent joint issues and speed up recovery from injuries.
