Alternative Medicine

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It's a medical treatment that involves injecting a concentration of a patient's own platelets into a specific area of the body, usually to accelerate healing or tissue regeneration. Platelets contain growth factors and other proteins that play a significant role in the body's natural healing process. When injected into injured or damaged tissue, PRP can potentially stimulate tissue repair and promote healing. It's commonly used in sports medicine for conditions like tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and muscle tears.
