Medical science have been doing great breakthrough non stop. Brilliant minds have been so much into giving people hope of enjoying a longer life without the worry of diseases that causes physical pain. One particular treatment that is being widely used by some physician to its patient although this has not been completely proven to be effective yet, is Platelet rich plasma injection. Illnesses such as arthritis are said to be highly treatable of this procedure. There were several shots that are injected on the area that hurts the most. Though, some are still questioning this, PRP injection success stories were there to stand as proofs about its capabilities.

A woman that is over sixty years old was one of few that provided her share of experience about this. The disease was Osteoarthritis, this attacks the joints making it degenerated continually. Because of that, infuriating pain are constantly felt by the patient. Since she is no longer younger, the body is having a hard time coping up and recovering.

At first, the medication that was used was steroids injection but on the longer run, the body became accustomed to the therapy and is no longer doing its purpose. The pain had been constantly coming making it hard for the woman to take good care of the grand children. Doing the household chores has been very challenging as well.

This is how the patient decided to try the PRP treatment as suggested by a physician were she got shots regularly on either hands or knees to keep easing its pain of Osteoarthritis. After several weeks of going through the same appointment, the progress was visible.

It gets easier to bend all her fingers compared to it was before where it only felt really numb. It did not end there because doing her hobby which is pottery have been as well easier since there were no pains that would be stopping the woman. There are millions of great stories about the therapy and this is just about one of it.

The procedure of PRP is done initial by drawing out blood from the patients. It is stored in a safe tube and spun for quite some time on a centrifuge. This breaks out the components of blood into three different kinds. The red blood cells, platelet rich and platelet poor plasma.

The rich plasma is injected back to the area that hurts. Experts believed that injecting it back would help in modulating the response of the body from inflammation. Aside from that, there are no reported serious risk that can be connected to this treatment.

Patients that are able to go through this kind of procedure were unable to feel any slight pain. Just a little discomfort on those parts that being treated but it is just normal and bearable. This is highly safe so doctors are not scared of suggesting such procedures.

During the actual procedure, a patient will not even feels any pain at all. However, parts of body that is being treated may feel minimal discomfort but totally bearable. The expenses of each appointment does not even cost a fortune.
