Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves extracting a patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors, and then injecting it back into the injured area. Originally pioneered by dentists and increasingly utilized by professional athletes, PRP therapy stimulates the body’s healing response, making it a cutting-edge alternative for injuries that don’t respond to traditional treatments.

PRP therapy is recognized as a natural surgery alternative, offering quick procedures, minimal recovery time, and no scarring. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in accelerating healing, particularly in tendon and ligament injuries, which are notoriously challenging to treat. By harnessing the body’s own healing mechanisms, PRP therapy promotes tissue rebuilding and regeneration.

Under the expertise of Dr. Karen Tan at the Center for Innovative Medicine, PRP therapy offers patients a non-invasive and highly effective option for treating degenerative joints, muscle tears, and injuries resistant to traditional therapies. With a quick blood draw and specialized centrifuge process, PRP injections deliver concentrated platelets directly to the injured tissue, stimulating rapid healing and recovery.
