Abstract

Between 16 September 2018 and 15 September 2023, within the Polimed Dacia Medical Center, the project “Innovative method of medical recovery through platelet-rich plasma and air cryotherapy treatment” was implemented, funded by the Competitiveness Operational Program, priority axis 1. By using this service, patients were able to recover the normal functionality of the joint faster.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a blood-derived product with a higher concentration of platelets in plasma, which is used to provide supraphysiological amounts of growth factors.

Due to their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, cryotherapies are widely used to improve the rehabilitation of patients with various joint diseases.

We observed that PRP treatment combined with cryotherapy in joint injuries and tendon inflammations have a beneficial effect on the recovery of affected tissues. In the case of joint immobilization over a long period of time, the occurrence of inflammatory processes decreases considerably after the use of the aero cryotherapy.
