Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a drug-free, safe, and natural cell regenerative medicine therapy meant to treat inflammatory conditions by relieving the pain of injured tissues and joints commonly found in cases like arthritis. We draw blood from your pet and spin it in our centrifuge in order to separate the Platelet Rich Plasma from the Red Blood Cells. Once separated the PRP can be injected back into the affected area(s) as it contains platelets and proteins that help promote the healing and regeneration of tissues as well as the reduction of pain. This not only improves the function and quality of life for dogs but can also decrease the amount of oral inflammatory and pain medications needed.
As these can be painful sites for our pets, we require sedation to limit stress and pain. Depending on the condition and severity, PRP can be a single treatment or a series. One treatment lasts up to 3 months. Our doctors will create a tailored PRP treatment plan alongside you for the best outcome for your pet. If you have any questions and would like to know if you can do PRP for your pet, please call us and we will gladly answer all of your questions.
