In this study, we investigate whether or not the addition of a structured physiotherapy program assists with health outcomes for patients undergoing platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections as treatment for chronic whipash – associated disorders.
Physiotherapy did not add any further immediate improvement to health outcomes following PRP in those with chronic whiplash injuries, although the majority of participants demonstrated improved longer-term outcomes, which included attendance at physiotherapy
Initial improvement following PRP appears to be independent of physiotherapy, but sustained improvements appear to be correlated to physiotherapy attendance
