Living with weak and painful joints can be a constant struggle, affecting your ability to perform everyday activities and enjoy your life. At Colorado Orthobiologics, we offer innovative solutions to solve these problems that harness the body’s own healing potential – through the remarkable practice of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. 

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a natural approach to healing that utilizes your body’s own resources. PRP therapy has gained recognition for its remarkable potential to alleviate pain, promote tissue regeneration, and restore joint function.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a concentrated solution derived from your own blood. The process begins with a simple blood draw. The collected blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate its components, isolating a potent mixture that is abundant in platelets and growth factors.

What to Expect During PRP Treatment

Blood Draw: PRP therapy begins with a blood draw. This sample of blood contains the essential components needed for your treatment.

Processing: The collected blood is then placed in a specialized centrifuge. This device spins the blood at high speeds, separating its different components. This process isolates the platelet-rich plasma, which contains a high concentration of growth factors and platelets.

Injection into Affected Area: The final step involves the administration of the PRP solution. Dr. Garramone will inject the PRP directly into the targeted joint or area requiring treatment. This precise delivery ensures that the healing potential of the platelets is focused precisely where it’s needed.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

  • Accelerated Healing – PRP therapy harnesses your body’s innate healing mechanisms to expedite the recovery process. By introducing a concentrated solution of platelets to the affected area, the body’s regenerative response is increased, leading to faster tissue repair and reduced downtime.
  • Non-Surgical Approach – PRP therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures. This means fewer risks, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery times. 
  • Natural Regeneration – Unlike treatments that merely mask symptoms, PRP therapy addresses the root causes of pain and dysfunction. The growth factors present in platelets stimulate the formation of new tissue, promoting genuine regeneration and restoration of functionality.
