Use of Autogenous Growth Factors to Accelerate Healing (PRP and ACP)
Special techniques use the body’s own (autologous) tissues to accelerate healing. The most common method is to concentrate plasma from the blood which can then be injected around the site of injury to enhance the body’s own natural healing cascade. This technique is called PRP (platelet rich plasma) or ACP (autologous conditioned plasma) and is beginning to be used widely in athletes and weekend warriors alike to speed recovery.
