Why PRP

In order to understand the mechanism of action of platelet–rich plasma it is necessary to review the normal healing process of musculoskeletal tissue. The repair response starts with the formation of a blood clot and degranulation of platelets. The degranulation of platelets releases growth factors and cytokines into the local environment. This in turn results in chemotaxis of inflammatory cells as well as the activation and proliferation of local progenitor cells.

Platelet-rich plasma likely has the ability to stimulate and enhance healing of soft tissue injuries in humans as we find it to be effective. Nevertheless, its exact role in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders remains to be determined.
