Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own concentrated platelets to accelerate healing in low-vascular tissues. This video covers the science behind PRP, its proven benefits for tendon and ligament injuries, and its potential to support articular cartilage regeneration in osteoarthritic knees.

Learn how PRP works through growth factors (including VEGF for angiogenesis), why a double-spin centrifuge and ultrasound-guided injection are critical for optimal results, and key questions to ask any clinic before treatment.

Avoid common pitfalls such as lidocaine use, cortisone combination, or blind injections that reduce accuracy and efficacy. Whether you are dealing with chronic knee pain, instability, or an old sports/military-related injury, PRP offers a regenerative option backed by research and long-term athlete use.
