PRP is often used to treat athletes and this has increased public awareness of this therapy. Several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of PRP in reducing inflammation and pain, improving and accelerating the healing process, and increasing mobility and joint and muscle function.<\/p>\n
It can be used both in acute situations such as muscle or ligament tears, speeding up the regeneration process and reducing the time off sports\/work, <\/strong>and in more chronic situations, such as Achilles tendinopathy\/quadriceps tendonitis<\/strong>, epicondylitis <\/strong>and even in the initial stages of osteoarthritis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Platelet-rich plasma is a product derived from the patient’s own blood (autologous), which is processed and centrifuged to obtain a high concentration of platelets (3 to 5 times higher) in a limited volume of plasma.<\/p>\n Platelets contain growth factors and bioactive proteins that regulate differentiated cells, modulating their growth and activity, allowing the tissue to regenerate. This treatment involves concentrating a large amount of growth factors close to the tear or injury. This preparation is then administered to the patient in the consultation room or in the operating room, with or without the use of ultrasound.<\/p>\n Our specialists in physical and rehabilitation medicine<\/a> and sports medicine<\/a> began complementing this technique using ultrasound equipment<\/a> since 2019, adding a new level of precision to this intervention.<\/p>\n Super PRP<\/a> is a procedure that combines Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with Hyaluronic Acid<\/a> in the same treatment, thereby increasing the effects of both therapies.<\/p>\n It is used exclusively in joint pathologies.<\/p>\n If you are looking for treatments using PRP, contact<\/a> our physiotherapy clinics in Lisbon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reduces inflammation and pain, improves and accelerates healing, increases mobility and joint and muscle function.
