What is Prolotherapy?
Most of us have thrown our back out or hurt our knee at some point. While there are many treatments out there that may be able to provide some relief and healing, many people have become dissatisfied with treatments that just don’t work.
That is why we at Truong Rehabilitation Center are proud to offer you Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a natural healing therapy that’s made from your own blood and may provide treatment with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses a blood sample to create a serum of plasma with a high concentration of platelets and growth factors, which are natural elements that the body uses in the healing process. Once prepared, the PRP is injected into the injured area in hopes of initiating quick healing and recovery.
Platelet-Rich plasma is used to treat a number of different conditions and sports injuries, such as:
-
Arthritic joints (knee, shoulder, hips, ankle, foot)
-
Low back pain
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Rotator cuff tears
-
Tennis elbow
The desired end result of PRP therapy is restoration of structure and function of an injured tendon, muscle or joint cartilage, significantly reducing pain and allowing it to bear greater stress.
PRP Benefits
Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment may offer benefits that similar therapies like cortisone injections may not, such as:
-
It may be a natural approach to healing ligament, tendon and joint injuries
-
Potential stimulation of bone, muscle and soft tissue healing
-
PRP may eliminate the need for more aggressive treatments, such as long-term medication or surgery
-
PRP may heal tissue with minimal or no scarring, and prevent further tissue degeneration
-
Research and clinical data suggest that PRP injections have a minimal risk of side effects
-
The procedure might be less aggressive and less expensive than surgery
PRP Procedure
To prepare a Platelet-Rich Plasma injection, a small amount of your blood is taken. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speed for about 40 minutes to separate the cells and proteins that induce healing from the other components of the blood. The resulting liquid containing platelets and growth factors is Platelet-Rich Plasma. When PRP is injected into the damaged area, it causes mild inflammation that triggers the healing process. As a result, new collagen may begin to form.
