Healing with PRP injection is a better hope because it will stimulate healing “NATURALLY”. It is a regenerative medicine, after PRP therapy the healing process starts and it requires four to six weeks apart. The preparation process for PRP is 20-30 minutes to separate the Plasma and prepare it for injection into the affected area (Knee, Shoulder, Ligament Tear, Meniscal Tear etc).
