The Promise of PRP Therapy
At Genesis Wellness Clinic, we are proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses your body’s own healing abilities to address a range of musculoskeletal and soft tissue issues. This outpatient procedure has gained considerable attention for its effectiveness in treating various types of pain and injury.
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets, rich in growth factors. These platelets are injected directly into the injured area, promoting tissue repair and accelerating recovery. The therapy is particularly beneficial for soft tissue injuries such as tendon and ligament damage, as well as for muscle strains and joint pain.

What is PRP?
Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water and proteins, and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are blood cells that cause blood clots and other necessary growth healing functions.Platelet activation plays a key role in the body’s natural healing process.
How PRP Works?
When PRP(Platelet rich plasma) is injected into injured, inflamed or damaged tissue or joint, the growth factors, anti inflammatory agentscontained in the patient blood goes to work to repair and heal injured or inflamedareasand joints.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’sown healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.
PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces.
Fluoroscopy is used to ensure that the injection is placed in the right joint, tissue or tendon area.
