Baltimore's highest rated Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatments available. EHP and Carefirst insurance accepted. PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and it is a medical treatment that has gained popularity in various fields, including orthopedics, sports medicine, and dermatology. When traditional physical therapy (PT) has been exhausted or has not produced satisfactory results, PRP therapy can offer several potential benefits: Enhanced tissue healing: Platelets are responsible for blood clotting and contain numerous growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration. By injecting a concentrated solution of a patient's own platelets into the affected area, PRP therapy can accelerate the healing process. The growth factors in PRP stimulate the production of collagen, blood vessels, and other components necessary for tissue repair. Non-invasive and low-risk: PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that carries few risks. Since the platelets used in the treatment are derived from the patient's own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions or transmission of infectious diseases. Reduced pain and inflammation: PRP therapy has shown promise in reducing pain and inflammation associated with various conditions, such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and muscle strains. The growth factors in PRP can help to calm inflammation and promote tissue regeneration, leading to reduced pain and improved function.
