How is PRP better than medications?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a type of treatment that involves injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets into damaged or injured tissue in order to promote healing. Platelets are cells in the blood that are involved in the clotting process and also contain growth factors that can help stimulate tissue repair.
There is some evidence to suggest that PRP may be effective in reducing pain and improving function in certain conditions, such as tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and muscle strains. However, the effectiveness of PRP treatment may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient.
PRP may be considered as an alternative or adjunctive treatment to medications, but it is not necessarily better than medications in all cases. Medications can be effective in reducing pain and improving function in many different types of conditions. The decision to use PRP or medications (or a combination of both) should be based on the specific needs and circumstances of the individual patient, as determined by a healthcare provider.
