What does it consist of? The concentrated platelets that are found in the PRP contain enormous reserves of bioactive proteins, including factors of growth and peripheral mother cells included in the plasma that are of vital importance to initiate and to accelerate the tissue repair and the regeneration. These bioactive proteins initiate the bonding of the connective weaving: bones, tendons and ligaments.

The biological therapy of the Rich Plasma in Platelets regenerates the weaving damaged in patients in which simply other processing has failed and has therefore moved them away from surgery.

The mechanisms of action of this processing will be to improve the cell immunity state and humoral (defense mechanisms) and vascular in the treated zone, diminishing thus the possibility of an inflammatory process and accelerating the physiological processes of repair of the weavings, by means of the regeneration of collagen through the activation of the peripheral mother cells (PMC) by the factor of growth (F.G.).

How is it obtained? From a simple extraction of veined blood, that will be treated to obtain the Rich Plasma in Platelets.

It is calculated that each injection of 2 or 3 ml of plasma contains 3.31 millions of platelets that contain at their time a grand amount of growth factors. It is a matter of substances that stimulate the scar formation of the zone affected and they would help to recruit mother cells of the present bone marrow in the plasma.

Do Risks Exist? NO, because the origin of the plasma is autologous, that is extracted from structures of his own blood, excluding the risk of transmitting infectious diseases or phenomena of rejection.

Is the application of Rich Plasma in Platelets new? No. The use of Rich Plasma in Platelets (factors of growth) (P.R.G.F.) has been studied and clinically proven before in diverse areas of medicine such as: dental and oral surgery, plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, processes of scar formation and in ophthalmology.

What illnesses or pains can be treated successfully? It can be applied successfully in the painful articulations and/or damages of the hip, knee, shoulder, neck and backbone, ankle and foot, as well as in those affections of tendons and ligaments; we mention the most frequent as calcaneal spurs, frozen shoulders, bursitis, and tendon breaks. In general, he understands everything that has not been able to be cured with other treatments or that requires surgery that you would not want to be done.

How many treatments are necessary? There will be 4 sessions, once a month in order to implant the PRP in the affected region in a parlor prepared with a machine to direct it with 100 percent of certainty in the zone affected.

Yes, initially it is required to stop taking anti-inflammatories (NSAID' S) that interfere with the capacity of the agency to regenerate weaving, once the PRP begins to act, you will not need the medicine. The majority of patients cease taking medication at the end of the treatment.

You can continue to live your life normally, based on the disappearing pain as well as the regeneration of the affected weaving. We encourage you to begin or continue the physical exercise to promote the result of the PRP and to improve health, and perhaps to lose those few extra pounds.

How much time will it take for the patient to note improvements? In progressive form, along the 16 weeks that the treatment lasts, the majority of patients feel relief as early as upon finishing the first week. The patient is maintained stable as they improve progressively. Not only is the pain alleviated but the mobility and the dexterity upon walking or to do activities is alleviated as well.

In the first visit, we will deliver a survey to assess the pain. In the last session we will deliver the survey again to assess the benefit of the treatment in objective form.

To receive biological therapy, is age or medical condition of a patient important? No. Everyone qualifies regardless of age or medical precondition.

It has been tested that biological therapy, specifically of the rich plasma in platelets, accelerates the curative process of different wounds without risks nor secondary effects in the elderly and the young, as well as in professional athletes or entertainers.
