PRP therapy for joints and ten­dons

First, blood is taken from the pati­ent via a vein (approx. 15 ml). After tho­rough cen­tri­fu­ga­ti­on (approx. 10 minu­tes), it is then sepa­ra­ted into its liquid and solid com­pon­ents. The acti­va­ti­on of the plate­lets indu­ces the release of a high num­ber of media­tors (mes­sen­ger sub­s­tances) from the plate­let gra­nu­les, which con­tain up to 800 pro­te­in com­pon­ents. Growth fac­tors and anti-inflamm­a­to­ry com­pon­ents, which can­not be found in such high num­bers in the regi­on (joint, ten­don inser­ti­on, mus­cle), are injec­ted into the inju­red or infla­med regi­on to pro­mo­te rapid heal­ing.

The tre­at­ment takes about 20 minu­tes. We recom­mend a series of 3 — 5 injec­tions over a peri­od of approx. 3 — 5 weeks (once a week).

“The injec­ted plas­ma con­ta­ins a lar­ge num­ber of pro­te­ins such as growth fac­tors and anti-inflamm­a­to­ry agents, which have a very posi­ti­ve effect on rege­ne­ra­ti­on and the heal­ing pro­cess.”
