What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) relies on platelets (cell fragments found in blood) and white blood cells to heal and repair injuries. This combination can enhance the body’s natural ability to heal, reduce inflammation in tendons and joints, and accelerate the repair of damaged tendons and ligaments.

What is sports medicine?

Exercise and sports are encouraged for overall health and wellbeing, but active athletes put their bodies to the test day in and day out. Because of these demands they are at an increased risk of injury. 

Sports medicine is the practice of treating athletic injuries – especially those that affect the musculoskeletal system. With the individualized care of a sports medicine physician, athletes can regain function and get back to performing at the top of their game.
