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.

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is blood plasma that contains concentrated amounts of platelets and growth factors. PRP is a non-surgical and advanced means of providing high doses of the body’s own healing factors directly to the area where they are needed.

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.

PRP can be introduced topically in or around an injured joint, tendon, or used in its gel form to treat large burns or wounds. PRP is not limited to acute injuries, it can also be used for chronic conditions such as:

Osteoarthritis
Tenosynovitis
Wound Care
General Inflammation
Post Surgical Healing
