Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets to help stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue. This cutting-edge therapeutic approach is just one of the advanced techniques offered at Southwest Foot and Ankle Center in Plano and Lewisville.

Our trained podiatrist and foot surgeon has utilized platelet-rich plasma as part of treatment for such podiatric disorders as nerve injury, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, bone repair and regeneration, diabetic foot, neuropathy, and more.

Conditions Treated with PRPs

• Sprains
• Joint injury
• Muscle injury
• Tendonitis or tendinosis
• Torn ligaments or tendons
• Cartilage degeneration

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

The PRP treatment is a sort of cocktail of many beneficial proteins that aid repair and regeneration in tissues such as tendons and bone. It involves cutting-edge technology with the body’s natural ability to heal.

Platelets have been found to release healing “growth factors” into the bloodstream. PRP proteins also work to reduce inflammation and ease pain.
