PRP usually refers to Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy.
It’s a treatment that uses a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.

🔹 How PRP Works
1.Blood Collection – A small amount of your blood is drawn.
2.Centrifugation – The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate plasma rich in platelets from red blood cells.
3.Injection – The concentrated platelets (which contain growth factors) are injected into the injured or damaged tissue.
