How Does PRP Therapy work?
PRP treatment involves using your own blood to isolate growth factors. After a simple blood draw, the platelets are isolated and concentrated. The concentrated platelets are then administered into the injured area with the help of advanced image guidance. Platelets signal a cascade of events and produce many benefits including: growth of new blood vessels, inflammation regulation, stem cell recruitment, tissue production stimulation.
At Avid Sports Medicine, we offer Platelet Rich Plasma injection in San Francisco to patients struggling with chronic injury. A sports medicine physician performs the entire procedure in a safe and sterile environment.
