Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Charlotte & Huntersville, NC
At Stem Cell Carolina, we offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy—an advanced, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s natural healing properties to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to heal without surgery or medication, PRP therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for.
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that harnesses the power of platelets found in your own blood. These platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair, making PRP an ideal solution for treating injuries, chronic pain, and joint conditions.
The process is simple: a small sample of your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, and then injected directly into the affected area to promote healing. This minimally invasive treatment is safe, effective, and backed by science.
