Platelet‑Rich Plasma (PRP) is part of a new wave of regenerative medicine. Here's how it works, especially for athletes:
- Nature of PRP: Your own blood is spun down to concentrate platelets, rich in growth factors and cytokines .
- Healing Boost: Injected directly into injured areas (tendons, ligaments, muscles), PRP stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, and can regenerate tissue.
- Faster Recovery: Studies suggest accelerated healing—sometimes up to 50% faster than traditional therapy—helping you return to activity sooner spoc-ortho.com+9orthopedicsportsdoctor.com+9benjamindombmd.com+9.
- Wide Applications: Commonly used for tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff issues, meniscus injuries, and general tendon/ligament strains.
At Medici, our specialists craft tailored PRP protocols, often blending them with physical therapy and regenerative rehab to support athletes and “weekend warriors” alike. It’s safe, natural, and leverages your own biology to enhance recovery.
