What is PRF Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own blood components to stimulate healing. Unlike traditional treatments that only mask pain, PRF works by promoting repair of injured tissues, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term recovery.

Backed by clinical research in orthopedic and pain management care, PRF is 100% natural – no chemicals or additives and more advanced than PRP

How PRF Therapy Works

The process is simple, safe, and minimally invasive: Your body uses the concentrated fibrin matrix to regenerate and repair naturally.

  • A small amount of your blood is drawn.
  • It’s placed in a special centrifuge that concentrates growth factors and fibrin.
  • The PRF is carefully injected into the damaged area (spine, joints, or soft tissue).

PRF vs. PRP – What’s the Difference?

While PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a well-known regenerative treatment, PRF takes healing a step further.

  • PRP: Provides platelets and growth factors.
  • PRF: Contains platelets plus a fibrin matrix that slowly releases growth factors over time for extended healing.

This makes PRF particularly effective for patients with chronic back pain, joint injuries, or degenerative conditions.
