What is Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) therapy?

Plasma or PRP which is rich in platelets, is a high concentration of endogenous blood platelets (itself), which is known to have the ability to help blood clots. This platelet has a growth factor consisting of various proteins and helps speed up the healing process after injury. In orthopedic treatment, platelet -rich plasma can be used, in certain cases, as an alternative for surgery. Plasma that is rich in platelets has been proven to have a strong regenerative potential for damaged tendons, ligaments and orthopedic soft tissue.

In addition, platelet-rich plasma has been proven to have significant anti-inflammatory benefits and in patients with early joint degeneration and arthritis, PRP can be a powerful tool to slow down inflammatory cascade that leads to progressive arthritis.

PRP is one of the biological treatments offered by Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu, an orthopedic specialist who uses the body’s natural ability to accelerate healing after orthopedic injury and which also reduces inflammation associated with early joint arthritis. For patients in Manhattan, New York City and around New York Boroughs, PRP has been proven to be a safe and effective non-invasive treatment option for damaged ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
