Plasma Injections & PRP therapy
at Skin & Bones
Plasma injections and PRP therapy at our Lancashire clinic
PRP injections are used to promote healing in joints, tendons and ligaments following injury or chronic damage. They belong to an emerging field known as Orthobiologics which focuses on the body's natural ability to heal. The idea is that PRP injection stimulates your body to grow new healthy cells and recover from damage.
What happens at PRP therapy and plama injection sessions?
PRP is most effective when treating joint, tendon and ligament injuries that have failed to heal after rest and rehabilitation.
It is safer and less invasive than surgery with less risk of scarring and infection. Usually 2-3 injections are given over the course of several weeks and it can take weeks to months to see the full benefits take effect.
