Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has rapidly gained popularity as an innovative, non-surgical treatment option for a variety of conditions.
At Envista Medical in Bakersfield, CA, we use PRP therapy, built on your own blood, for numerous musculoskeletal and dermatological concerns.
If you're exploring advanced treatment options built on your body's own healing response, it's important to understand which conditions PRP is used for and how it can benefit you.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the injured or affected area.
Platelets are rich in growth factors your body uses in its natural healing response.
This therapy is minimally invasive, has a low risk of side effects, and is increasingly used as a natural alternative to surgery or long-term medication.
