00:00In modern medicine, there is a constant search for new methods of treatment

00:06for a faster and more natural recovery and strengthening of the body.

00:11One of those is what is called platelet-rich plasma therapy.

00:16What is that? Let's take a look at it.

00:20Within four decades, platelet-rich plasma or PRP injections

00:25has become a part of the world of medicine.

00:28Even so, in the past few years,

00:31its popularity has increased due to its new studies and provenance.

00:37PRP is a treatment modality that uses a high concentration of platelets

00:42from the patient's own blood

00:45to help speed up the recovery of injuries and joint injuries.

00:50PRP is good because it is natural.

00:54We don't extract it from a synthetic material.

00:57Rather, we just bring the healing cells into the areas of injuries through injections.

01:05With the advances in the medical field, especially with the use of ultrasound,

01:10we were able to refine it further.

01:12Because right now, when we do the treatment,

01:15we use an ultrasound to direct the injection or injectate, which is PRP,

01:22into the area of the injury.

01:24Although PRP treatment has benefits,

01:27it also has possible side effects that should be avoided,

01:31such as injection site soreness and the so-called inflammatory phase.

01:36This is the time that we usually reassure the patients,

01:38oh, you feel that you took two steps back because the injury was repeated.

01:43And that's what we actually want to happen.

01:47The injury is repeated and then we guide the injury to heal properly.

01:53The effect of PRP treatment can be seen

01:56after a few weeks to a few months.

02:00Most would inject every two weeks.

02:03So, it's a session, two sessions, for probably three sessions every two weeks.

02:09But what I'm doing right now is I inject first,

02:14usually wait for eight weeks.

02:16Because that's the entire healing response of our body before we re-inject again.

02:22When the patient improves, when the body responds to the procedure,

02:27we want them to be exercising to maintain the tension in the tendon or ligament.

02:34The effectiveness of PRP injections in different aspects of the injury

02:39shows a new development in the field of medicine

02:43that brings more opportunities for Filipinos

02:47to use the faster recovery and better quality of life.
