Healing with the body's own growth factors (PRP)

How does PRP therapy work?

15 ml of blood is withdrawn from the vein, centrifuged and the supernatant obtained as autologous plasma. This plasma contains thrombocytes (blood platelets), which release important growth factors. These growth hormones initiate self-healing and regeneration processes at the point of injection. They initiate the reconstruction of the injured tissue and inhibit painful inflammatory processes.

When is PRP used?

• Arthroplasty on basically all joints (including the spine)
• Chronic tendinitis (e.g. Achilles tendon irritation, patellar tip syndrome, epicondylitis humeri radialis / tennis elbow, heel pain)
• Sports injuries e.g. ruptures and partial ruptures of muscles, ligaments and tendons (e.g. shoulder, knee and ankle joint)
• After and during operations on tendons, ligaments and cartilage (also meniscus)

Conclusion

With PRP therapy, we have a well-researched bioregenerative treatment method available to accelerate the healing process. Side effects of this method are hardly known. Only the body's own substance is used and handling is easy for both the doctor and the patient.

We usually perform PRP therapy once a week on the affected structure (joints, tendons and ligaments) and recommend a cycle of 3 to 5 injections.
