A Closer Look at Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

When the body is injured, platelets and white blood cells from blood are naturally called to the injury site to initiate a healing response. Under normal conditions, these platelets release a number of growth factors to help regenerate and regrow damaged tissue. This regenerative process is captured in one of Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation’s treatment options called, platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections.

Through PRP injections, healing injured tissue is more effective and efficient. Ultimately, the goal is to repair the injured tissue and diminish aches and pain, which is what we have witnessed with many of our patients.
