How Does PRP Therapy Work?
Scientists have not fully understood how PRP therapy works. However, some lab studies suggest that this procedure may increase the concentration of grow factors, which speeds up the recovery and healing process. There are two ways to treat an injured area with the therapy:
– PRP may be injected into the injured part. For instance, a mixture of local anesthetic and PRP can be injected into the inflamed tissue in people with Achilles tendinitis. It may take a few weeks until the patients get the desired effect.
– PRP would help improve healing after a surgical procedure. This can be done by injecting PRP in a special way so that it may be stitched into affected tissues. [2]
