Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma is a trending topic in human sports orthopedic medicine. Used for sports injuries and many wear and tear issues. In-clinic PRP is a breakthrough process for pets utilizing blood plasma with concentrated platelets that once activated, accelerate the healing properties of the isolated growth factors at a fraction of the cost of traditional human treatments.
Platelets that are found in whole blood contain many healing growth factors and bioactive proteins. These bioactive proteins can initiate tissue healing, and assist with inflammation. The treatment offers an affordable all natural alternative to drugs and steroids.
