About PRP Injections in Greenwood, IN

Since PRP treatment was discovered in the 1990s, it has been used by doctors in a variety of medical fields to treat everything from wounds to pain. The reason for this therapy’s growing popularity is all in the results! The various growth factors that are used in PRP work to regenerate tissues and promote cell repairs. In fact, many studies have shown the reparative and anti-inflammatory effects of PRP on tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.

As tissues are regenerated, the body’s healing is accelerated and pain is decreased, making PRP an ideal chronic pain therapy option for patients experiencing pain from injuries, arthritis, joint paint, chronic wounds, and more.
