PRP therapy re-injects concentrated platelets to facilitate natural healing. It can delay the need for surgery or decrease medication use. The number of injections varies by condition severity and patient age. At Gentera Med, we offer premium treatments with advanced techniques in orthopedics to ensure rapid and optimal healing.
