Steph Curry Chooses Platelet Rich Plasma
Therapy
We’ve all seen the incredible season Steph Curry has had with
the Golden State Warriors.
That’s why the whole sports world cringed when his knee buckled with a Grade 1 Medial Collateral Ligament
(MCL) sprain in the playoffs.
To get back on the court more
quickly and manage his pain,
Curry utilized state of the art
platelet rich plasma therapy
as part of his recovery process
Curry isn’t the first athlete to trust
this therapy. Kobe Bryant
actually flew to Germany for the
therapy years ago.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy addresses tissue injuries by using
components from a patient’s own blood to trigger healing.
When the body becomes injured, platelets are sent to the injury to begin to
repair the damaged tissue.
PRP takes the blood and spins it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and
concentrate the platelets.
This platelet concentration
increases healing growth factors
approximately six to eight times
faster than normal.
When PRP is injected into the damaged area, it stimulates a
mild inflammatory response, which leads to:
• Restored blood flow
• New cell growth
• Tissue regeneration
• Faster healing of soft tissue injuries
It basically supercharges the body’s capacity for healing!
Advantages of PRP include:
• Non-surgical approach to treating injuries and chronic pain
• Derived from the patient’s own blood so no concern about rejection or disease transmission
• Decreases recovery time when used during surgical procedures
• Safer than cortisone injections.
PRP is effective in treating joint and tendon conditions and non-healing wounds, as well as
facilitating facial skin rejuvenation.
