PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
What Is PRP?
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed by our board-certified podiatrists at Foot & Ankle Centers. Your podiatrist will draw a small amount of your blood and then place it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood. The resulting concentrated solution is then injected into the affected area.The therapy is relatively quick and painless, and the results can be seen within a few weeks. The platelets further accelerate the healing process, which helps reduce inflammation and promote the growth of new tissue.
