PRP therapy in sports medicine

PRP Therapy (Platelet RICH PLASMA Therapy) is a cellular treatment method that triggers the processes of regeneration and recovery in the body. The ability of our body to heal itself was discovered by scientists back in the middle of the 20th century. It was this unique mechanism of action that was taken as a basis and is now actively used in medical practice, including in the network of medical clinics for CMR, in the treatment of serious pathologies of the musculoskeletal system or sports injuries.

PRP has received the widest recognition in various fields of medicine: traumatology, orthopedics, neurology, surgery. However, the most progressive and indisputable method of plasma therapy is recognized in sports medicine and rehabilitation.


The essence of plasma therapy is the introduction into the cavity of the damaged joint of a concentrated platelet mass (plasma) obtained from the patient's own blood. 
Plasma has valuable properties: it contains growth factors - active biological substances that trigger the mechanisms of regeneration, recovery and healing. It is surprising that growth factors are able to recognize the sites of damage to the skeletal system and tissues and effectively influence the restoration of pathological zones, acting purposefully and accurately. In places of damage, growth factors begin to actively divide: abrasions, scratches, microtrauma, sprains disappear, and the skeletal system is completely restored.

Another remarkable property of growth factors is that they awaken the cells of the cartilaginous tissue, as a result of which the processes of collagenesis are triggered and the cartilage is restored, compacted, and the surface of the joint becomes smooth. The production of inter-articular (synovial) fluid increases, friction of the joints decreases. The patient feels a sharp decrease in pain and swelling, an improvement in motor function and gradually returns to his usual way of life. PRP-Therapy has a very long-term effect: there are cases when the patient's remission lasted for several years. The advantages of plasma lifting, almost complete absence of contraindications, make the procedure indispensable for an athlete and quickly allow you to return to the training process.

How is the procedure carried out

Platelet therapy involves treatment with the patient's own blood. Venous blood is taken, which undergoes special processing in a high-speed centrifuge, as a result of which a purified plasma with a large number of platelets is obtained. Further, the obtained plasma is injected into the joints and others into the zones of pathology.

Benefits of PRP Therapy in Sports Medicine

  • Restores the production of synovial fluid in the joint and reduces friction between joints
  • Provides full recovery from sports injuries without medication
  • Repairs all types of tissues and tendons

Plasma therapy in the treatment of sports injuries

PRP-Treatment of joints is a highly effective method aimed at restoring the usual motor function. That is why plasma therapy is so actively used in sports medicine and rehabilitation.

Preparation for prp of joints

You don't need any special preparation, but doctors recommend detoxifying your body. First of all, this is a refusal or reduction in the intensity of smoking, and a complete cessation of alcohol. For a week of the course, it is necessary to revise the diet. On the eve of the procedure, you should not eat heavy, fried, fatty foods and seasonings. Tell your doctor if you are taking any sports pharmacology drugs or drugs that affect blood clotting. It will be necessary to abandon such treatment for a while. Try to drink as much water as possible the day before your procedure.

For the accuracy of the pprp procedure and the conviction that the procedure will definitely be effective in your case, it is necessary to conduct a primary diagnosis of the joint. As a method, ultrasound or MRI diagnostics of a joint or other zone of pathology is used. Diagnostics will also allow to exclude an acute process or advanced stages of the disease, in which the procedure is meaningless and surgical intervention is required. MRI and ultrasound diagnostics of the joints allows the specialist to make sure that there are no contraindications, to carry out the procedure with the highest therapeutic success, which will allow a long-term remission to be achieved.

Please note: our specialists provide a free consultation based on the results of MRI diagnostics

Safety of the procedure

In the network of clinics, CMRR specializes in the treatment of diseases of the skeletal system using plasma therapy. We did our best to make the PRP therapy procedure as fast as possible, comfortable and safe for our patients. For this, in the arsenal of our treatment rooms, the best world analogues are used, designed for manipulating blood plasma and guaranteeing no contact with the environment. These are high-speed prp centrifuges that allow selection of high-quality and highly-purified plasma, as well as unique vacuum prp tubes that guarantee no contact with the environment - sterility, as well as the accuracy of plasma administration. When carrying out prp of the joint, we use only high-quality highly purified drugs, contributing to a better concentration of growth factors. The quality and saturation of plasma with platelets is a pledge and guarantor of a high therapeutic effect and long-term stable remission of the patient.
