Treating athletes with platelet rich plasma has become a very important procedure. For many with injuries, the ability to recover quickly without invasive surgery and dependence on medication is the key to continuing to play. By avoiding the delay associated with waiting for a non-surgical injury to heal, it’s game on! I’ve been fortunate to work with some remarkable athletes at Appalachian State University. With the effort they put out, wear and tear on their bodies is inevitable.
Recently, several different athletes, all football players, have undergone PRP treatment. For one, he was able to return to the gridiron a week later! Sometimes, it takes a second round of injections, but we are anticipating significant recovery and readiness for the upcoming season without surgery for all of them! By injecting plasma rich with their own platelets, and sometimes augmenting that with stem cells when appropriate, these young men are healing more rapidly, more effectively and more thoroughly than can be achieved with any other procedure.
