Can only athletes be qualified for platelet rich plasma?

No: Anyone can have it done if they are willing to pay for it. As an experimental and investigational procedure its not covered by insurance, so you have to pay out of pocket for it.

No: Usually it is a matter of the specific problem and appropriate indications for this treatment. Insurance may not always cover this treatment.
