PRP Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions in Sonora

Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment - Dr. Michael Laux

Introduction to PRP Therapy

The Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated sample of your own platelets to support tissue repair and speed recovery. PRP is obtained by drawing a small amount of blood, processing it by centrifugation, and re-injecting the platelet-rich fraction into the specific areas that require it.

Common Uses of PRP

The Orthopedic PRP therapy is effective in the treatment of:

• Tendinitis (such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff injuries)
• Osteoarthritis (especially knee and hip)
• Ligament and muscle injuries
• Plantar fasciitis and chronic joint pain
• Post-surgical recovery
