In this brief presentation, Dr. Anne Truong explains that platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) is created by processing a patient’s own blood. PRP contains concentrated platelets that stimulate healing of bone, muscle, and soft tissue. It is offered as an alternative when cortisone injections or other therapies have failed. The speaker lists a range of conditions that can be addressed with PRP—including sports injuries, arthritic joints, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, lower back pain, and plantar fasciitis—emphasizing that PRP treatments are natural, non‑surgical, and lead to faster recovery and reduced downtime.
