Steph Curry Chooses Platelet Rich Plasma

Therapy

We’ve all seen the incredible season Steph Curry has had with

the Golden State Warriors.

That’s why the whole sports world cringed when his knee buckled with a Grade 1 Medial Collateral Ligament

(MCL) sprain in the playoffs.

To get back on the court more

quickly and manage his pain,

Curry utilized state of the art

platelet rich plasma therapy

as part of his recovery process

Curry isn’t the first athlete to trust

this therapy. Kobe Bryant

actually flew to Germany for the

therapy years ago.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy addresses tissue injuries by using

components from a patient’s own blood to trigger healing.

When the body becomes injured, platelets are sent to the injury to begin to

repair the damaged tissue.

PRP takes the blood and spins it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and

concentrate the platelets.

This platelet concentration

increases healing growth factors

approximately six to eight times

faster than normal.

When PRP is injected into the damaged area, it stimulates a

mild inflammatory response, which leads to:

• Restored blood flow

• New cell growth

• Tissue regeneration

• Faster healing of soft tissue injuries

It basically supercharges the body’s capacity for healing!

Advantages of PRP include:

• Non-surgical approach to treating injuries and chronic pain

• Derived from the patient’s own blood so no concern about rejection or disease transmission

• Decreases recovery time when used during surgical procedures

• Safer than cortisone injections.

PRP is effective in treating joint and tendon conditions and non-healing wounds, as well as

facilitating facial skin rejuvenation.
