PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma, St. George
What Is PRP?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative medicine treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by delivering a high concentration of platelets directly to injured or inflamed tissue. These platelets release growth factors that support:
Tissue repair
Collagen production
Reduction of inflammation
Improved joint function
PRP is minimally invasive and uses your own blood, making it a safe option for many patients seeking non-surgical healing.
