Dogders'  right handed pitcher Zack Greinke returns to Los Angeles from Phoenix to receive Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for his right elbow injury Monday March 11, 2013. The wealthy right-handed pitcher (worth up to $159 million) was diagnosed with inflammation in the back of his pitching elbow.  An MRI performed in Arizona last week showed there was no structural damage to the ligaments or tendons of the elbow. Greinke received an  injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and anti-inflammatory medication and put on rest for 2-3 days with plan to return to a progressive throwing program.

PRP is platelet-rich plasma, which is taken from the patient's blood and injected into the affected area in a concentrated dose to promote healing. It has become relatively common for injuries such as this and made popular by elite athletes like Kobe Bryant, Hines Ward, and Tiger Woods.

Rehabilitation is one of the hardest and responsible things. It vary a lot, depending on spheres (neurology or other) and the level of damage. I know a little about this and I respect those professionals who deals with all that problems.
