PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a treatment method based on injecting plasma — obtained from the patient's own blood and enriched in platelets — into the area to be treated. Platelets are rich in growth factors that initiate tissue repair, so PRP stimulates the body's own healing mechanism and supports faster recovery of damaged tissue.

What is PRP Used For?

PRP therapy is particularly preferred in musculoskeletal disorders and pain management. Main areas of use:

• Knee, hip and shoulder osteoarthritis
• Tendon injuries (tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis)
• Chronic muscle and connective tissue damage
• Recovery after sports injuries
• Heel spur and plantar fasciitis

How is PRP Applied?

A small amount of blood is first drawn from the patient. The blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is then injected into the treatment area, guided by ultrasound or anatomical landmarks. Because the patient's own blood is used, there is no risk of allergy or rejection. The number and interval of sessions are determined by the specialist according to the patient's condition.
