PRP Treatment for Arthritis

For long-lasting arthritis pain relief, we offer injections containing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that focus on your natural ability to heal. Symptoms can be soothed by platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. Since platelets in your blood promote healing, a higher concentration of these cells will amplify your healing process. We create a concentrated serum of platelets from a small vial of your blood and then inject it at the site of your pain, whether that’s your knees, hands, discs, or elsewhere, and the platelets and growth factor will work to relieve your joint pain.

What Causes Arthritis?

Causes vary depending on what form of arthritis you’re suffering from. Rheumatoid arthritis is often caused by environmental factors or infection. Your genetics might play a role in diminishing your cartilage when your body produces antibodies to fight infections or diseases.

Osteoarthritis is categorized by cartilage damage and is identified by redness, heat, and inflammation at the joint. As it develops further, and the cartilage is worn away, it results in more pain from the friction of raw bones rubbing on each other and degeneration of your joints.

Fractures at joint surfaces and joint dislocations develop into post-traumatic arthritis. Your body secretes certain hormones following injury, which causes cartilage cells to diminish.

Types of Arthritis

There are four common types of arthritis:

Osteoarthritis is also referred to as degenerative joint disease and is the most common type. Cartilage starts to wear away over time, and in extreme cases, it can completely disappear.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, meaning the immune system attacks healthy joints, tissues, and organs. With severe pain, this can deform or change a joint permanently.
Post-traumatic arthritis develops after a joint injury. Tendonitis, fractures, or ligament tears may occur immediately or well after the initial injury.
Psoriatic arthritis occurs when psoriasis, a scaling skin disorder, affects the joints at the ends of the toes and fingers. If the spine is involved, back pain will occur as a result.
