What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

PRP is a treatment made from your own blood.
A small blood sample is taken and processed so that the platelet portion becomes more concentrated. Platelets carry natural growth signals that play a role in tissue repair and recovery.

PRP is commonly used for:

  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Chronic knee pain and swelling
  • Degenerative meniscus irritation
  • Overuse and sports-related knee pain
  • Tendon and ligament injury

What is A2M
(Alpha-2 Macroglobulin)?

Alpha-2 Macroglobulin (A2M) is a naturally occurring protein found in your bloodstream.

In joint care, A2M is used in some cases as a biologic add-on designed to support a healthier knee joint environment by helping reduce the effects of certain inflammatory processes inside the joint.

A2M may be considered for patients who want a more advanced biologic knee-support plan.
