PRP (Autologous Blood Injection)

Experience advanced healing with PRP (Autologous Blood Injection). Dr. Ralph Rogers utilises Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to promote natural healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue repair in various conditions.

What is it?

PRP therapy involves using your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets, and injecting it into the affected area. The growth factors in platelets promote healing and tissue repair, making it an effective treatment for injuries and chronic conditions.

A clinic appointment for PRP therapy includes a thorough assessment of the condition, followed by blood collection, processing to concentrate the platelets, and injection into the targeted area. Dr. Rogers ensures precision and effectiveness in administering the treatment.
