To many people and doctors, Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is a relatively new therapy that utilizes growth factors in your blood to enhance your body’s natural healing ability. Whether you’re dealing with old injuries like sprains or you’ve just torn a tendon, this medical treatment can help you feel better fast and restore movement. Dr. Blatman has a lot of experience with this technology and has been using PRP to repair tendons and joint cartilage for more than 30 years.
Regardless of your condition, PRP treatment prompts your body to re-run its healing program and address areas of continued injury that need further healing, often with excellent results. We explore further how PRP therapy brings new hope to many of our patients who struggle with two common conditions: sexual dysfunction and joint pain.
How PRP Therapy Works
Instead of injecting medicines or chemicals into your body, PRP providers inject what your body already produces: a concentrated form of your blood that has lots of platelets, which have healing proteins and growth factors and help your blood clot. Plasma that’s platelet-rich can speed up tissue repair, regenerate tissues, and reduce inflammation.
During PRP therapy, your doctor extracts the PRP from your blood, concentrates it in a centrifugal machine, and directly injects it into your injured or damaged tissue. Because an injury inhibits blood flow to the affected area, injecting more PRP into it increases blood circulation that’s crucial for healing.
PRP for Sexual Health and Function
PRP is effective in improving the health and functionality of men’s and women’s sexual organs. Some men with erectile dysfunction may resort to the “little blue pill,” but what happens when it stops working? Also, what solutions are available for women who struggle with a lack of sexual pleasure or challenges with sexual function?
Thanks to locally available PRP treatment options, men and women in your area can discover renewed sexual enjoyment while improving their health and vitality. Before administering the injection, your doctor carefully numbs the affected area, rendering the treatment relatively pain-free. You can finally relieve your frustration and start to enjoy your sex life more!
Local PRP Therapy for Joint Pain and Deterioration
If you are experiencing joint pain and damage due to arthritis or osteoarthritis, particularly in the hip, knee, and shoulder, you may be a suitable candidate for PRP treatments. Your PRP doctor will inject your concentrated blood directly into the joint, triggering a healing response. Many patients report significant relief after just one injection!
