PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your pet's blood, processing it in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich solution directly into injured or damaged tissues. Platelets contain powerful growth factors and healing proteins that naturally stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

When your pet faces chronic pain, injury, or slow-healing wounds, finding an effective treatment that promotes natural recovery can feel overwhelming. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a cutting-edge regenerative medicine approach that harnesses your pet's own healing power to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

At Mountain View Animal Hospital & Holistic Pet Care, we integrate advanced PRP therapy with our comprehensive Holistic services to provide your pet with the most effective healing solutions. Our integrative approach combines traditional veterinary medicine with natural therapies, giving your pet the best of both worlds for optimal recovery and wellness.

This revolutionary treatment works by delivering concentrated healing factors directly to the affected area, creating an environment where damaged tissues can repair themselves more efficiently. The concentrated platelets release growth factors that promote cell division, encourage blood vessel formation, and stimulate the production of collagen and other essential proteins needed for tissue repair.

PRP therapy may be particularly beneficial for pets suffering from arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament damage, non-healing wounds, and post-surgical recovery. The treatment uses your pet’s own biological materials, making it a safe and natural option with minimal risk of adverse reactions or complications.

The PRP Therapy Process

The PRP procedure begins with our veterinary team drawing a small blood sample from your pet, similar to routine blood work. This process is quick and causes minimal discomfort. The blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge machine that spins at high speeds to separate the different components of the blood, concentrating the platelets and plasma.

Once the platelet concentration reaches the desired level, typically three to five times higher than normal blood levels, the PRP solution is ready for injection. Our veterinarians carefully inject the concentrated platelets directly into the affected tissues using precise techniques to ensure optimal placement and effectiveness.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before your pet’s PRP therapy session, we may recommend temporarily discontinuing certain medications that could interfere with platelet function. Getting prepared for your pet’s therapy involves following specific pre-treatment guidelines to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Most pets tolerate the procedure well, and many show signs of improvement within days to weeks following treatment. The number of sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated, your pet’s overall health, and their individual response to therapy.

Conditions That Benefit From PRP Therapy

PRP therapy has shown remarkable success in treating various conditions affecting pets. Orthopedic injuries, including ligament tears, tendon damage, and muscle strains, often respond exceptionally well to PRP treatment. The concentrated growth factors help rebuild damaged connective tissues and restore normal function.

Pets with arthritis may experience significant pain relief and improved mobility following PRP therapy. The anti-inflammatory properties of the concentrated platelets help reduce joint inflammation while promoting cartilage repair and regeneration. This natural approach to arthritis management can help pets maintain their quality of life without relying solely on long-term medication.

Non-healing wounds, surgical sites with delayed healing, and chronic skin conditions may also benefit from PRP therapy. The growth factors in concentrated platelets accelerate wound closure, promote healthy tissue formation, and reduce the risk of infection. Combined with our ozone therapy services, PRP can provide comprehensive wound healing support.

Complementary Holistic Treatments

PRP therapy works synergistically with other holistic treatments offered at our practice. Acupuncture can enhance circulation to treated areas, improving the delivery and effectiveness of PRP injections. The combination of these therapies often produces superior results compared to either treatment alone.

Our comprehensive approach may also include therapy laser photobiomodulation to further stimulate cellular healing and reduce inflammation. This multi-modal treatment strategy addresses your pet’s condition from multiple angles, maximizing the potential for complete recovery.

Gold bead therapy may complement PRP treatment for certain orthopedic conditions, providing long-term pain relief and improved function. Our veterinary team will develop a customized treatment plan based on your pet’s specific needs and condition.
