IRAP Therapy

IRAP is short for Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein. It is a naturally occurring protein that works to protect joints by occupying receptor sites on the membrane of cartilage cells.  It is a therapy from a relatively new group of anti-arthritis products.  Harvested blood is incubated for 24 hours to increase the anti-inflammatory and regenerative protein concentration levels.  The extracted serum can be used immediately or frozen for future use.  IRAP therapy is an intra-articular sports medicine therapy.
