Understanding PRP Therapy Portland Oregon


By Jason Anderson


Recently, due to the opioid crisis, a number of orthopedic specialists and pain managers have been turning to different types of injections for pain. While some merely numb the pain for several weeks up to a year, others work to heal a condition such as Osteoarthritis, such is the case with prp therapy portland.

While a number of studies and trials have been completed with regards to these new injections, only one with regards to treating osteoarthritis in the knee has shown successful. Other trials focused on oral surgery, chronic tendinitis and osteoarthritis in other areas of the body showed little to no benefits after PRP injections. While this is the case, random controls in 2009 proved that use of the therapy for osteoarthritis in the knee often proved safe, effective and successful.

When it comes to analyzing the benefits in oral surgery related to sinus lifts and other treatments, the results of a 2010 trial indicated the therapy had provided no benefits in this area. In addition, a 2014 Cochrane review of the therapy in musculoskeletal injuries found the therapy weak in eliminating pain or corrective movement issues over the long term.

Originally having been thought to also be able to assist in bone healing, only one of out of four studies showed this to be the case. Whereas, proponents as early as 2004, began arguments that the negative study and trial results were due to poor and inadequate PRP samples from clients. As such, the therapy remains controversial while readily available at many clinics and hospitals.

When it comes to orgasms, PRP is being injected into the vagina by some Gynecologists whom suggest the process will improve and increase orgasms. While this is the case, there is no evidence to support the claims. In fact, there are some whom suggest this can be extremely risky, especially to individuals whom may have a risk for various blood cancers.

While only a few studies have shown PRP injections to be effective, there were no adverse reactions reported in any of the trials. In addition, researchers have suggested that the lack of positive results during studies have been lacking due to the methods being used during various trials. For example, while some women have been receiving these injections to enhance sexual experiences, there has been no proof that the use in this area is either safe or effective.

Depending on the potential use, there are four different methods in which blood platelets are prepped for platelet-rich plasma injections. In most cases, the efficacy of growth factors when it comes to healing a number of injuries and the concentration of such factors found within PRP are the primary basis for use in tissue repair. Whereas, platelets collected during this type of therapy are activated by calcium chloride and thrombin which induce factors from alpha granules.

Platelet rich plasma is prepped by taking blood from a client, running it through a process to split the red blood cells, then injecting the split PRP back into the client. In most cases, the process takes place at a health clinic or private practice. Whereas, providers often use prepackaged kits and commercial equipment to obtain the injectable PRP.
