Understanding PRP
Professional athletes frequently encounter injuries due to the enormous pressure on them to consistently perform at their peak. This pursuit of excellence can lead to acute injuries, like a sprained ankle from a tackle, or chronic issues from overuse, such as the shoulder pain a pitcher might develop. With careers hinging on optimal physical condition, top athletes must prioritize treatments known for their safety and efficacy. PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma treatment, is a notable option for many.
PRP is a personalized, non-surgical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process. It involves extracting, concentrating, and injecting a person's own healing and growth factors found in their blood into the injury site. Clinical trials have verified its safety and effectiveness. At Ospina Medical, we employ image-guided and proprietary Regenexx techniques to increase the quality, strength, and precision of targeted PRP injections.
