What is a PRP treatment?

At GOED Medical Center, we specialize in regenerative medicine with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). PRP is also known as ACP (Autologous Conditioned Plasma). This is a treatment in which we inject plasma from the patient's own body with a high dose of growth factors, into and around, joints, tendons ligaments and nerves. This naturally stimulates recovery.

What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a medical approach that focuses on stimulating the body's natural ability to repair and renew damaged tissue. This means that with regenerative medicine, we use the body's own substances to promote healing and reduce inflammation.

Why PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?

PRP naturally stimulates healing by delivering concentrated growth factors to the site of injury or condition. It is like the natural counterpart of corticosteroids. Plasma naturally has an anti-inflammatory effect. Because we obtain the plasma from the patient's own blood, we avoid the risk of side effects. The success rate is high, the risks low.

When are you eligible for PRP treatment?

PRP is widely used for complaints of the joint, tendons, ligaments and nerves. For optiomal results, we consider a number of factors.

 1) The degree of wear or damage to the tissue.

2) Age (>70 years reluctant to use PRP)

3) Lifestyle-related factors (Metabolic factors).

4) Medication and blood thinners

 

 

How effective is PRP treatment?

In general, 80% of our patients are satisfied with the result obtained. As described above, there are several factors that can negatively affect the outcome. In addition, the balance between load and load capacity is important for the final result. This is also your own responsibility.

 

How is PRP prepared?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared by drawing blood through a standard blood collection procedure. This procedure is similar to drawing blood for a laboratory test. We then centrifuge the blood in a special machine to separate the platelets from other blood components, such as red and white blood cells. After this, the concentrated PRP is collected and can be administered by injection. The preparation of PRP takes about 45 minutes and then it can be immediately returned to the affected joint or other tissue.
