Blood -as the own substance of the human body- has been used for healing for several decades in different fields of medicine. Besides the old, well-established immune enhancement in recent years good results have been achieved worldwide by injecting the PRP (plasma resulting from spunning 10-20 mls of the patient’s own blood) into damaged tissues. An outstanding outcome may be expected in the treatment of different chronic conditions, sports injuries (fracture, rupture, bruise) and pains affecting joints, ligaments, cartilage, bones.
It has an even more significant particular effect that the so-called growth factors – those can be found in the extract of the patient’s own (autologous) blood injected into the joint - will induce a completely new cartilage formation process in most cases.
The main secret of the popularity of the procedure is that it has no side effects as it contains a 100 % anti-allergic substance: the component of the patient’s own blood. It is also beneficial that hospitalization is not required, patients may request the prescribed injections ambulatory.
Our specialists may decide on the applicability of the therapy, following to a comprehensive examination. The most commonly used treatment areas: hip, knee, Achilles tendon, shoulder, elbow, wrist.
PRP Plus
Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of your bones and helps your joints move. Over time, your cartilage can deteriorate and may even disappear completely. This results in bone-to-bone contact in your joints, causing pain, stiffness, and sometimes swelling. These complaints make a lot of people’s daily life difficult.
Our Institute has a long tradition of PRP therapy for joint problems. This treatment accelerates the restoration of the damaged cartilage Based on the broad experiences of our colleagues we have developed further the treatment, leading to PRP Plus. A further active substance (long-lasting lubricant) has been added to the basic PRP injection. This new method has maintained the benefits of the earlier, well-proven PRP treatment: it has no serious side effects, hospitalization is not required, its application is not exhausting for the patients. We have multiplied the efficiency of the treatment, thus a more spectacular cartilage recovery can be achieved. We have created a method that is more effective than the basic PRP treatment. It eliminates the pain and the restricted motion faster and for a longer period, thus enabling the effective injection treatment of more deteriorated joints.
