PRP Therapy
A promising and cutting-edge field, regenerative medicine harnesses the remarkable ability of the bodyâs own mechanisms to heal, replace, restore, and regenerate tissue.
In this treatment, cells from a patientâs own body â usually taken from the blood, fat cells, or bone marrow â are reinjected into an area of injury. These cells include âgrowth factorsâ that stimulate tissue growth to restore structure and function in damaged areas of the body.
Many patients are opting for this unique therapy for the following benefits:
- Quick and easy process
- Less invasive than traditional treatments like surgery
- Faster healing
- Relatively painless
Regenerative medicine treatments include:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. Blood taken from the patient is spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood cells from platelets. A concentrated amount of platelets, which are believed to have healing properties, is reinjected into the patientâs body to boost the bodyâs natural healing response in a particular area.
The range of injuries that can be treated with regenerative medicine continues to grow. Find out if it can be incorporated into your treatment plan by calling Louisiana Pain Care in Monroe or Ruston at (318) 323-6405, or use our convenient online appointment request form.
