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.
