PRP Joint Rejuvenation: Maintaining Your Mobility

Mobility can become limited as we grow older, as joint problems are an inevitable part of aging. At about age 30, bones begin to lose bone mass after reaching peak bone density, which means the joints are more prone to breaking, aching, and reducing mobility. The newest treatment at Healthspan is made to solve this future problem called Platelet Rich Plasma Joint Rejuvenation or PRP Joint Rejuvenation.

Regenerative Medicine

The Platelet Rich Plasma Joint Rejuvenation is a form of regenerative medicine you can get to support wound healing in trauma or joint injury.

In recent years, doctors have learned that the body can heal itself. The PRP Joint Rejuvenation is a therapy that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissues, especially in the joint areas. Doctors have been using the PRP injection to treat an expanding list of orthopedic conditions, including osteoarthritis. This therapy reduces pain, improves joint function, and possibly slow down, halt, or even repair damage to cartilage.

How it Works

Blood is drawn from the patient, separate the platelets from other blood components using the centrifuge, and the platelets are then injected into the joints. This blood component contains growth factors and other nutrients, PRP is to boost the growth in the injected joints.

Benefits

PRP injection offers relief to shoulder pains caused by rotator cuff tears, Achilles tendon ruptures, and other soft-tissue injuries. It has also demonstrated its abilities to improve function and reduce pain for patients who have tendonitis or chronic tendinosis conditions, also called tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow.

PRP has been found to significantly enhance the healing process. PRP outperformed and sometimes outlasted the hyaluronic acid or corticosteroid injections according to some studies. The relief this therapy offers lasts 12 months or more.

This therapy can be a preventive method for future joint problems associated with aging or even a therapeutic relief for active people that does strenuous activities such as athletes. Improve your movements and continuously enjoy mobile activities without experiencing joint discomfort.
