Sports injuries are quite common, and treating them effectively requires skill, precision, and advanced methods to promote a quick and safe return to activity. In recent years, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has gained popularity for treating muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendon damage among athletes and active individuals.
Platelets are the body’s natural “first responders” that rush to the site of an injury. They help form clots to stop bleeding and contain influential growth factors—special proteins that encourage new cell formation, tissue repair, and reduced inflammation. These growth factors are believed to play a vital role in jump-starting the body’s healing process. Although studies are ongoing, PRP treatment shows promise in helping to reduce pain and heal many orthopedic injuries.
