PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary and natural medical treatment that harnesses the body’s own healing mechanisms to accelerate recovery and alleviate pain. The process involves drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, and centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets. This concentrated plasma is injected into the injured or affected area, stimulating growth factors and enhancing the body’s natural healing capabilities.

Faq's

PRP is a concentrated form of plasma derived from the patient’s own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, which aids in tissue healing and repair.
While there might be some discomfort during the injection, it is generally well-tolerated. Local anesthesia or numbing cream can be applied to minimize discomfort.
The number of treatments varies based on the condition and individual response. Some patients benefit from a single injection, while others may require multiple sessions.
Potential side effects are minimal but can include swelling, pain, or bruising at the injection site. It’s crucial to discuss any concerns with the professionals at Warrior Wellness.
Typically, the entire process, from drawing blood to administering the injection, takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
PRP is unique because it utilizes the patient’s own healing factors to address the root cause of pain or injury rather than merely masking symptoms.
