At North Texas Orthopedics, we offer PRP Therapy as an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to enhance the body’s natural healing process. Blood is primarily composed of plasma, a liquid that carries red and white blood cells, as well as platelets, which play a crucial role in clotting and tissue repair. PRP Therapy harnesses the power of these platelets by concentrating them into a solution rich in growth factors, which can accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.
To obtain PRP, an orthopedic specialist or physiatrist begins by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood. This sample is then placed in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that spins the blood at high speeds to separate its components. This process isolates the plasma, now highly concentrated with platelets and growth factor proteins. Once prepared, the PRP is carefully injected into the injured area, stimulating the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
PRP Therapy offers a natural and effective solution for a variety of orthopedic conditions by harnessing the body’s own healing properties. By injecting concentrated platelets into injured or degenerative areas, PRP stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and accelerates recovery. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with joint pain, muscle and tendon injuries, or osteoarthritis. Patients often experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced function, allowing them to return to their daily activities or sports with greater ease and confidence. By promoting tissue regeneration and minimizing inflammation, PRP Therapy serves as a powerful, minimally invasive option to help patients regain strength and movement without the need for surgery.
PRP Therapy is used to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions, offering a regenerative approach to healing. PRP can be an effective treatment for chronic tendon injuries, acute ligament and muscle injuries, and arthritic joints. Additionally, it is often used to enhance post-surgical healing by accelerating tissue repair and reducing recovery time. By injecting concentrated platelets into the affected area, PRP stimulates the body’s natural healing response, making it a valuable option for patients seeking pain relief and improved function without immediately resorting to surgery.
Our physicians at North Texas Orthopedics utilize PRP both as a standalone treatment and in conjunction with surgical procedures to optimize healing. When combined with surgery, PRP is typically injected after the repair is complete, or in some cases, it can be prepared in a special way to be stitched into torn tissues, promoting quicker and stronger healing. However, it’s important to note that PRP is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Factors such as the location of the injury, the patient’s overall health, and whether the condition is acute or chronic all play a role in determining if PRP is the right option. While patient preference is always considered, our physicians rely on their expertise to recommend the most effective treatment plan for each individual, ensuring the best possible outcome.
PRP Therapy is offered to established patients only. Following your initial consultation, your doctor will determine if PRP Therapy is the best treatment option for your condition. Please note that PRP Therapy is a cash-pay service. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call us at (817) 481-2121.
