Platelet Rich Plasma Injections in Dallas and Grapevine: Platelet rich plasma (or PRP) therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that is offered as an alternative to those who may be considering joint replacement or elective surgery due to arthritis or injury. It is an all-natural treatment that speeds up and promotes healing.
What are PRP Injections?
PRP injections are prepared from your own blood. This means that there is no risk of rejection or disease transmission. There is also very minimal risk of infection. A local anesthetic is used, so there is only mild discomfort during the procedure – similar to what one would feel when receiving a flu shot. Our team of professionals at Core Integrative Health use various techniques to assist in the precise placement of the PRP injection. There may be mild pain or swelling at the injection site once the procedure is completed. However, the majority of patients are able to return to their usual activities with no downtime.
