Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment for Pain Relief and Healing

WHAT IS PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing of injured joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. By concentrating platelets in plasma, PRP delivers high levels of growth factors to the treatment area, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

BENEFITS OF PRP THERAPY

  • Reduces Pain: PRP injections can alleviate pain from conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, and muscle injuries.
  • Improves Function: Enhanced healing helps restore normal activities and sporting pursuits.
  • Quick Recovery: As a minimally invasive procedure, PRP allows for a speedy return to daily life.

Applications in Medicine

PRP has been used since 1987 in surgeries to promote cell generation and is now widely used in:

  • Sports Medicine: Treats muscle strains, tendon, and ligament injuries.
  • Orthopaedics: Effective in reducing knee pain from osteoarthritis.
  • Cosmetic Surgery: Employed in treatments like hair replacement.

Success in Treating Knee Osteoarthritis

PRP shows promise in treating knee osteoarthritis.

Studies reveal significant reductions in pain and stiffness and improvements in knee function within six weeks of treatment. Given the high prevalence of knee osteoarthritis, PRP offers a valuable treatment option. Read more here:

Platelet Rich Plasma FAQs

What is the protocol for PRP treatment?

A typical PRP treatment involves three injections administered over two to three weeks. Based on current research, the Opus Biological team will customize the protocol, with some patients requiring additional injections.

How does PRP work?

Blood Collection: A small amount of your blood is drawn.

  1. PRP Preparation: The blood is processed to concentrate platelets in the plasma.
  2. Injection: The PRP is injected into the target area (muscle, joint, or tendon) under ultrasound guidance.
  3. Healing Process: Platelets release growth factors, stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.
Why Choose PRP?

PRP is a natural, autologous treatment using your body’s resources to promote healing, making it a safe and effective option for various conditions. Discuss with your doctor to see if PRP is right for you.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections for Pain Relief and Joint Health

WHAT ARE HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are a minimally invasive outpatient procedure designed to alleviate pain and improve joint function. HA, a natural substance found in the body’s connective tissues, acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints.

  • Reduces Pain: HA injections can significantly alleviate pain from conditions like osteoarthritis.
  • Improves Mobility: Enhances joint lubrication and function, helping you return to daily activities and sports.
  • Quick and Effective: As a minimally invasive treatment, HA injections offer fast relief with minimal downtime.

Applications in Medicine

Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly used in:

  • Orthopaedics: Primarily to treat knee osteoarthritis, but also effective for other joints.
  • Sports Medicine: Helps athletes recover from joint-related injuries and maintain joint health.
  • Chronic Pain Management: Provides long-term relief for individuals with persistent joint pain.

Success in Treating Knee Osteoarthritis

Research indicates that HA injections can significantly improve the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis.

Studies show notable reductions in pain and improvements in mobility and joint function, providing an effective treatment option for many patients. For more information, visit our Patient Resources page:

Hyaluronic Acid Therapy FAQs

What is the protocol for HA treatment?

A standard HA treatment typically involves a series of injections administered over several weeks. Your Opus Biological doctor will tailor the treatment plan based on your specific needs and the latest research findings.

How does HA work?
  1. Injection: HA is directly injected into the affected joint.
  2. Lubrication and Cushioning: HA enhances the joint’s natural lubrication and cushioning or shock absorption capacity.
  3. Pain Relief and Function Improvement: This process reduces friction, alleviating pain and improving joint function.
Why Choose HA injections?

HA injections offer a natural, effective solution for joint pain and mobility issues, utilizing a substance that your body already produces. This makes it a safe and reliable treatment option for a variety of joint conditions. Consult with your doctor to determine if HA therapy is right for you.
