What is Enriched Plasma PRP Treatment?

Enriched plasma, also known as PRP, or platlet-rich plasma, is a special treatment that supports your body’s healing processes. Your blood has several parts: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets are tiny pieces that help your blood clot when you get a cut. Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that carries these cells and platelets.


Within this mix, we find enriched plasma. Our providers take a small amount of your blood and put it into a centrifuge. This spins the blood very fast, separating the platelets and plasma from the other parts. They then mix the plasma with a higher concentration of platelets, creating enriched plasma.

The Body's Powerful Plasma (PRP)

Enriched plasma PRP is a powerful treatment that supports your body’s natural healing process. It works by harnessing the power of platelets, tiny blood particles that contain growth factors – substances that are shown to promote healing and repair in the body. When enriched plasma is injected into an injured or damaged area, it releases these growth factors, which may help in the recovery process.


The growth factors in enriched plasma have been shown to support in the growth of new cells and blood vessels, helping to rebuild and rejuvenate injured tissue. They also help reduce inflammation, which can cause pain and slow down healing. Decreasing inflammation allows for faster and more efficient injury and accident recovery.


Overall, enriched plasma works by delivering a concentrated dose of healing factors directly to the site of injury. This targeted approach helps to support the body’s natural repair process, leading to faster healing and a quicker return to normal function.


Enriched plasma treatment is an innovative and natural way to support your body’s ability to heal itself that we embrace at Ultimate Health.

FAQs About Enriched Plasma (PRP) Therapy

  • WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE?​

    Chiropractic care is a natural, hands-on therapy technique that uses gentle and precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and alleviate spinal nerve stress.


    “The essential services provided by chiropractors represent a primary approach for the prevention, diagnosis and conservative management of back pain and spinal disorders that can often enable patients to reduce or avoid the need for riskier treatments, such as prescription opioid pain medications and surgery,” according to the American Chiropractic Association.

  • WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE?​

    Lower back pain, neck pain, and chronic headaches are the main reasons most people decide to see a chiropractor. As a natural, holistic healing method that doesn’t involve drugs or surgery, chiropractic care is an ideal option for patients who are looking for pain relief, but want to avoid prescription medication or more invasive medical treatments. Some first-time patients may have already tried traditional treatment methods without success. Chiropractors take a whole-person approach to wellbeing by acknowledging that there are many factors that affect your health, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, environment, stress, and genetics. Although chiropractors do use spinal manipulation to make necessary structural adjustments, they also give their patients beneficial lifestyle recommendations, and empower them to be an active participant in their own health. Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of problems, including:


    - Postural problems - Low back pain - Herniated discs - Sciatica - Chronic headaches - Neck pain - Sprains and strains - Degenerative arthritis


    - Sports injuries


    - Chronic pain


    - Carpal tunnel


    - TMJ, or jaw disorders


    - Knee pain


    - Shoulder pain

  • HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT WORK?

    At Ultimate Health Medical, our experienced chiropractors begin your initial consultation by discussing your health issues in detail and taking your medical history, including any pertinent family history. After that, you’ll undergo a comprehensive physical exam. Based on your medical history, health concerns, and your physical assessment, the team has enough information to form a working diagnosis. This helps them decide if imaging or lab tests, such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray, are required to confirm the diagnosis.


  • WHAT IS THE JOINT REJUVENATION PROTOCOL?

    Because every individual that comes to Ultimate Health Medical is different, our Joint Rejuvenation Protocol is personalized for each patient.
