INFILTRATIONS WITH PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)

ULTRASOUND-GUIDED INFILTRATIONS WITH PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)
DR. JORDI JIMÉNEZ

 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become a popular therapeutic option in traumatology, especially for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. Its main applications are:

• Promoting Healing: PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate and accelerate the healing process of tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
• Treating Musculoskeletal Injuries: It is frequently used in the treatment of sports injuries, muscle tears, tendonitis, and in postoperative recovery from joint injuries.
• Ultrasound-Guided Injections: Like corticosteroids, PRP can be injected directly into the injured or inflamed area using ultrasound guidance for greater precision. This technique ensures that the treatment is delivered exactly where needed, improving its effectiveness. Alternative to Traditional Treatments: PRP offers an alternative to more invasive treatments or medications such as corticosteroids, especially for patients seeking less aggressive options or who have contraindications to other treatments. Pain and inflammation management: Although PRP does not act as quickly as corticosteroids in terms of pain relief, it contributes to the long-term reduction of pain and inflammation, promoting the body's natural healing.

Dr. Jordi Jiménez has extensive experience in ultrasound-guided interventions and ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection therapy in Palma de Mallorca for acute and chronic conditions resulting from trauma, occupational therapy, sports-related conditions, or degenerative diseases, with a variety of treatments.
