Alpine Medical Group in Fairbanks, AK offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections. In recent times, medical professionals have uncovered the body's remarkable ability to self-heal using your own platelets to treat.
WHY PRP INJECTIONS?
Reduce pain, inflammation, and need for pain-reducing medication. Increase your healing and recovery time by utilizing platelet-rich plasma therapy, a form of regenerative medicine. This technique magnifies the natural growth factors present in blood cells, aiding the healing of damaged tissues with injections being billed to insurance and just $60 out-of-pocket for the blood draw and the spinning of the platelets.
Notably, PRP injections can reduce reliance on opioids or over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. Typically, anti-inflammatories should be discontinued during PRP treatment as the platelet-rich plasma optimizes the initial inflammatory response necessary for healing.
PRP injections activate concentrated platelets, releasing growth factors that stimulate the body to produce reparative cells, thereby significantly enhancing the natural healing process.

HOW PRP INJECTIONS WORK
The preparation of PRP injections entails drawing a few tubes of the patient's blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate its components. The platelets, collected and concentrated, are mixed into a blood plasma liquid base and directly injected into the injury site. Ultrasound imaging may guide the injection procedure.
PRP injections activate concentrated platelets, releasing growth factors that stimulate the body to produce reparative cells, thereby significantly enhancing the natural healing process.
These injections primarily target soft tissue injuries like minor rotator cuff and Achilles tendon tears. Their usage in treating other soft-tissue injuries is increasingly common, demonstrating improvements in function and pain reduction for conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. They also aid in ligament and muscle injury treatment, showing enhanced muscle regeneration in calf muscle injuries.
PRP injections carry minimal side effects since they're derived from the patient's blood, reducing the risk of rejection or negative reactions. While there's a remote risk of infection, there aren't significant risks apart from the variable effectiveness in different patients.
