Advantages Of Plasma Replacement Therapy


By Donald Roberts


Many people continue to grapple with the burden of acute or chronic pain in their lives. Injuries, more so affecting areas around joints can take time to heal. This is coupled by the fact that these joints are key in normal body movement. If left unchecked, the joints could heal, but abnormally. To avoid developing further complications with such pains, medical practitioners have been using plasma replacement therapy.

As it is with any new innovation being introduced to the market, it is bound to receive a lot of opposition. Those who used to rake millions through in-effective pain medication and treatment are at the forefront of opposing the visibility this new pain treatment is getting. According to those advising against its use, they are basing their argument upon there not being enough evidence of PRP effectiveness.

Unlike what you will hear from all the popular myths, platelet rich fluid is one of the pioneer non-operative forms of treatments. This treatment option usually relieves pain by the natural promotion of long-term curing of musculoskeletal conditions. What this means is that there are less risks compared to other pain treatment options that could require surgical operations. This is why it is a preferred treatment choice for most elite athletes.

One of the other factors that make platelet rich fluid a highly sought after pain treatment option, is because patients record improved recovery periods. When compared to the other pain treatment options, PRP is remarkably effective. This could probably explain why most top athletes today prefer PRP injections to treat any injuries. They do not want to waste away in recovery when PRP offers a natural and permanent solution.

When compared to traditional pain injections, platelet rich fluid is a far effective treatment option. To begin with, the pain injections just like other pain medication, have side effects. Dealing with one pain just to create another condition in the future may not sound like the wisest thing to do. Platelet rich plasma on the other hand gives a lasting or permanent solution using the natural healing process of the body.

From the foregoing, it is apparent that platelet rich fluid treatment is the next mainstream pain treatment option. While it can be argued that there is lack of sufficient evidence to its success, there have also been no major incidents reported so far. This is because this treatment does not entail using any other prescribed medication apart from helping the body to recover naturally from injuries.

It is important however that patients should leave all options open. While PRP is a non-operative treatment, it can also be used alongside other treatment options. For instance, when used during surgeries, it is widely used to hasten the repair of the Achilles tendon and rotator cuff. Therefore, whether or not surgery will be done is dependent on the extent of the injury.

As a rule of thumb, always work with qualified and experienced. While PRP is an effective pain treatment option, it is still subject to misuse. This may lead to incorrect dosage applications and give undesired results.
