PRP therapy, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a revolutionary treatment offered at Iron Mountain Regenerative Orthopaedics that utilizes a patient's own blood to stimulate the natural healing process of soft tissue and joints. During the PRP therapy process, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the injured or affected area, promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. This treatment is minimally invasive and can be an effective alternative to surgery or long-term medication for a variety of orthopedic conditions. With Iron Mountain Regenerative Orthopaedics expertise in PRP therapy, patients can benefit from personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs, facilitating faster recovery and improved overall function.

Before undergoing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your current medications and any potential interactions with PRP treatment. While the specific medications to stop may vary depending on individual circumstances and the reason for PRP therapy, here are some general guidelines: Blood Thinners: Anticoagulant medications such as warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, and novel oral anticoagulants (e.g., rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran) may increase the risk of bleeding during or after PRP injections and potentially impact the healing process as well. Your healthcare provider may advise you to temporarily discontinue these medications prior to the procedure. It is critical to check with your physician who prescribes these medications to ensure they are safe to temporarily stop. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), and aspirin can interfere with the body's inflammatory response, which is essential for the healing process stimulated by PRP therapy. Your healthcare provider may recommend discontinuing NSAIDs for a period before and after PRP injections to optimize the therapeutic effects. Corticosteroids: Corticosteroid medications such as prednisone, dexamethasone, and cortisone injections may suppress the immune response and interfere with the healing process promoted by PRP therapy. Your healthcare provider may advise discontinuing corticosteroids before undergoing PRP treatment to avoid potential interactions and optimize outcomes. Herbal Supplements: Some herbal supplements, such as ginkgo biloba, garlic, ginger, and ginseng, may have blood-thinning properties or interact with the components of PRP. It's essential to disclose all herbal supplements you are taking to your healthcare provider, who can advise you on whether to discontinue them before PRP therapy. Other Medications: Certain medications, such as immunosuppressants and antiplatelet agents, may affect the body's ability to respond to PRP therapy or increase the risk of adverse reactions.
