Pain Causes
PRP means Platelet Rich Plasma therapy
Human blood consists of different types of cells which serve different important functions. These include red cells, white cells and platelets. Platelets account for fraction of the total cells (about 1%). However they have 2 very important functions:
Platelets secrete more than 30 growth factors of which most important are transforming growth factor-β, platelet-derived growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor. These factors help in healing and repair.
Injection of these powerful growth factors found into damaged ligaments, tendons, muscles, and joints stimulates the natural repair process
PRP is defined as plasma with at least twice the platelet concentration of normal blood plasma. It is created by a process called centrifugation where a sample of blood is spun in a special device at a specific rate. This process separates out the blood components and allows us to concentrate only platelets.
Most researches indicated that five times content of normal platelets can contribute to effective regeneration by PRP. And higher concentration does not induce a better result. Clinical trials are unravelling the full spectrum of use for PRP and almost all show significant improvement in healing, regeneration, pain level and functionality of the treated area.

It is mostly useful in treating sports related injuries such as muscle tears, tendinitis, with any treatment option at pain management hospitals in Hyderabad that a patient decides to try to help with pain or injury the outcome and sustained results depend on a number of factors, including the location and extent of the injury, the treatment used.
No. However, it involves drawing blood from a vein and injection at the site of the problem
After the injection, you should not wash the area that was treated for 48 hours. There may be some soreness and bruising at the injection site. It can also cause intense pain for about 2 days in some patients
Keep in mind that this treatment is not instantaneous. You will have to wait for the growth factors to work their magic and for your pain to dissipate. In a few weeks to months, you may experience less pain, more mobility, and overall relief in the treated area.
It can take several weeks for PRP injections to start working.
