Advantages Of Plasma Replacement Therapy

By Donald Roberts


Many people continue to grapple with the burden of acute or chronic pain in their lives. Injuries, more so affecting areas around joints can take time to heal. This is coupled by the fact that these joints are key in normal body movement. If left unchecked, the joints could heal, but abnormally. To avoid developing further complications with such pains, medical practitioners have been using plasma replacement therapy.

As it is with any new innovation being introduced to the market, it is bound to receive a lot of opposition. Those who used to rake millions through in-effective pain medication and treatment are at the forefront of opposing the visibility this new pain treatment is getting. According to those advising against its use, they are basing their argument upon there not being enough evidence of PRP effectiveness.

Contrary to popular opinion, platelet rich plasma continues to become the next pain treatment option to be used all over the world. This is in fact the pioneer non-operative treatment for pain. This is in the knowledge the backdrop of its ability to offer a permanent and natural solution to pains around musculoskeletal injuries. Yet again, with no need for surgeries, PRP, the acronym for platelet rich plasma, is a less risky procedure to take.

Take a soccer player with one of the major leagues in Europe as a practical example. When they are one of the most valued players for the team they play for, they cannot afford to sit on the bench for months or years nursing musculoskeletal injuries. With the millions they earn, teams need these players back on their feet as soon as possible. PRP is highly effective with quick recovery from injuries.

When compared to traditional pain injections, platelet rich fluid is a far effective treatment option. To begin with, the pain injections just like other pain medication, have side effects. Dealing with one pain just to create another condition in the future may not sound like the wisest thing to do. Platelet rich plasma on the other hand gives a lasting or permanent solution using the natural healing process of the body.

The effectiveness recorded with PRP therapies, make it an idea whose time has come. It would be prudent for practitioners across the board to embrace it as the next permanent solution to solving serious musculoskeletal injuries. As earlier mentioned, platelet rich fluid only uses the natural healing properties of the body to help it recover much faster from injuries. As a form of pain therapy, you cannot wish it away.

There are cases where injuries will require surgery depending on the extent of the injury. This means that PRP is not a replacement for surgical treatment options for pain. It can however, be used with the procedure to improve patient experience. Platelet rich plasma is very effective when it comes enhancing healing of tendons. This is why it is commonly used during tendon surgeries.

As a rule of thumb, always work with qualified and experienced. While PRP is an effective pain treatment option, it is still subject to misuse. This may lead to incorrect dosage applications and give undesired results.
