Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a collection of your platelets obtained from a simple blood draw after it is centrifuged at the same visit. Platelets have a multitude of growth factors that can enhance healing and potentially reverse degenerative processes. It can be used for soft tissue injuries and used for joints.
