Platelet-Rich Plasma: PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma: PRP is an effective pain-management treatment and therapy.

It aims in treating lateral epicondylitis through inducing inflammation rather than suppressing it.

Although it is considered one of the newer and most exciting is platelet-rich plasma therapies, which is ideal for cases where a patient just isn’t healing when he should be.

It is still a safe and easy procedure. Plus PRP reduces the chance of infection. 

Using the Patient’s own cells, the platelets release proteins called growth factors, which kick the body’s natural healing into overdrive, stimulating the three necessary phases of healing: inflammation (initiates the tissue’s healing process), proliferation (cell growth), and remodeling (such as absorbing old, and adding new, tissue).

This spurs intensive repair of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues. Recipients enjoy faster healing, faster pain reduction, less rehabilitation time, and avoiding surgery.

Compared to surgery, it’s extremely inexpensive, and perhaps more effective in some cases. And, on average, patients receive just two or three injections at four-week intervals. The Ultrasound here is going to broaden our treatment abilities to some of these areas of soft tissue. 

 This procedure is performed under ultrasound-guidance to ensure accuracy and decrease pain.

Which ultrasound scanner do doctors use for ultrasound-guided for platelet-rich plasma?

Using the wireless portable mini linear ultrasound scanner SIFULTRAS-3.5 to guide the needle, the doctor injects the platelets into the affected area, stimulating healing and tissue regrowth.

We also need to mention the color doppler wireless mini linear ultrasound probe SIFULTRAS-3.51 Ultrasound Scanner, which also has the needle guide feature that can help the doctor with this procedure.

Even though the procedure is a low-risk and simple, one cannot neglect the importance of USG. Not only in detecting soft tissues but for guiding the injection but also for monitoring patient’s pain development afterward. 

Ultrasound can be used to diagnose such things as carpal tunnel syndrome, torn rotator cuffs, tennis elbow, nerve entrapments, and causes of shoulder pain.
