Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the body’s natural healing properties to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. This innovative therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the healing platelets, and then injecting it into the affected area to stimulate tissue regeneration.

PRP is commonly used for joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and tendon or ligament damage, offering a natural alternative to steroids and surgery.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

  • Accelerates healing by using the body’s natural growth factors.
  • Reduces pain and inflammation without medication.
  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime.
  • Promotes tissue repair, helping joints, muscles, and tendons heal.
  • A natural alternative to steroids or surgery, reducing the need for medication.

Who is a Candidate?

PRP therapy may be recommended for patients who:

  • Suffer from chronic joint pain due to arthritis, or tendon injuries.
  • Want a natural, non-surgical option for pain relief.
  • Have sports injuries or overuse conditions like rotator cuff tears or tennis elbow.
  • Need enhanced healing after surgery or injury.

How the Procedure Works

PRP therapy is a quick and simple process performed in-office:

  1. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm.
  2. The blood is processed in a centrifuge, concentrating the healing platelets.
  3. The PRP solution is injected into the affected area, stimulating tissue repair.

The entire procedure takes about 30-45 minutes, and patients can return home the same day.

Recovery Expectations

  • Minimal downtime, with most patients resuming daily activities immediately.
  • Some soreness at the injection site, typically resolving within a few days.
  • Healing continues over weeks to months, with long-term tissue regeneration.
  • Patients may need multiple sessions, depending on their condition.
