Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP for short, is a common treatment in the realm of human sports medicine. Now, thanks to advancements in technology, this innovative therapy and its many benefits are also available for our furry family members. As part of Arrow Veterinary Clinic’s commitment to providing the latest in veterinary medical care, we’re pleased to offer PRP therapy to our patients.
Platelet-rich plasma is blood plasma that contains highly concentrated amounts of platelets and growth factors. PRP therapy utilizes this plasma to provide your pet with a high dose of his or her body’s own natural healing factors.
PRP is administered via injection directly to the area where it is needed, offering a highly effective, non-surgical way to treat and manage injuries and chronic ailments. It’s also a much more natural and affordable alternative to things like medication and steroid use.
The PRP therapy services at Arrow Veterinary Clinic can be used to address acute injuries as well as manage chronic medical conditions.
Some of the ailments we routinely utilize PRP therapy for include, but are not limited to:
General Inflammation
Osteoarthritis
Tenosynovitis
Wound Care
Post-Surgical Recovery
As science and medicine continue to improve, so will the available treatment options for managing the health and happiness of our furry friends. At Arrow Veterinary Clinic, we’re honored to partner with you in helping your loved one live a long, happy, and comfortable life.
If your pet recently became injured, underwent surgery, or is struggling with any of the chronic conditions above, PRP therapy could be the ideal solution. Contact Arrow Veterinary Clinic to schedule a consultation!
