Platelet Rich Plasma Injections – a brief overview:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a very general term for a classification of therapies with similarities. Most cognitive-behavioral therapies have the following characteristics:

CBT is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. It is a highly instructive approach. Cognitive-behavioral therapists seek to learn what their clients want out of life (their goals) and then help their clients achieve those goals. 

The therapist’s role is to listen, teach, and encourage, while the client’s roles is to express concerns, learn, and implement that learning. A sound therapeutic relationship is necessary for effective therapy, but not the focus. CBT therapists believe that the clients change because they learn how to think differently and they act on that learning. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, rather than external things, like people, situations, and events. Of various types of psychotherapy, Cognitive-behavioral therapy is considered among the most efficient and cost effective.

Step 1: Collect Blood

Step 2: Centrifuge Blood

Step 3: Light Activation

Step 4: Inject Under Ultrasound Guidance

The treatment exert positive effects via multiple mechanisms including:

  • Activation and release of the body’s natural growth factors in the abnormal tissue. This response has been proven to stimulate the tissue regeneration processes.
  • Localized inflammatory response that increases the blood flow to the abnormal tissue.
  • Limitation of scar tissue formation.

Improving the quality of results with PRP Injections

The results of platelet rich plasma therapy can be further improved by using ultrasound guidance to increase the precision of the injection. Additionally, ultrasound guided PRP injections are associated with minimizing the risk of post-procedure pain and discomfort.

Contraindications to Platelet Rich Plasma Injections:

Although the treatment is generally well-tolerated by individuals of all age groups, there are certain contraindications to PRP Injections. For example:

  • Recent history of anti-coagulant therapy/ course
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers

What to expect from PRP therapy?

Depending upon the initial extent of injury, the overall process of healing may take a few weeks, and rarely, up to a few months. While most patients do not require more than 1 -2 injections, you should know that complete regeneration of damaged collagen may require multiple sessions. In the early post-therapy period (2-3 weeks after the PRP injection), most patients report remarkable improvement in the severity of symptoms such as pain and discomfort.

If you are looking to restore the anatomical and physiological health of your joints and soft tissue elements, speak to your doctor to see if you are a candidate for Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.

After the PRP Injections:

The aftercare for most PRP injections is relatively simple. Patients will resume activity at their own pace. The pain from the process typically will last a few days, occasionally longer, and some patients have more severe or sporadic pain than others. Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmittable infection and a very low risk of allergic reaction to the treatment.
