Platelet-rich plasma therapy heals muscle injuries without surgery

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical, regenerative procedure that can accelerate the healing of muscle and tendon injuries or manage chronic injuries that have not responded to physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and other conservative treatments. Matt Axtman, DO, non-operative sports medicine specialist with Spectrum Health Medical Group, talks about the procedure, which uses a patient’s own blood. It is a concentration of one type of blood cell, known as platelets. Platelets and the liquid plasma portion of the blood contain many growth factors essential for optimal healing.
