Is PRP effective in treating Osteopenia?

Sorry to say, but, “No.” I’m not aware of PRP being used for Osteopenia, or loss in bone density. Working with your doctor and making some lifestyle changes can have a good effect on Ostepenia. A balanced diet and regular exercise should help slow the loss of bone density, delay osteopenia, and delay or prevent osteoporosis. PRP has been effective at treating injuries, like tendon and ligament tears, but bone density is quite a different subject.
