Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment that harnesses the healing power of your own blood. By concentrating platelets and growth factors, PRP promotes tissue regeneration and accelerates healing.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing properties to relieve pain and repair damaged tissues. By concentrating platelets—cells that contain powerful growth factors—PRP stimulates and accelerates the healing process for injuries, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
How Does PRP Work?
When you are injured, your body naturally sends platelets to the damaged area to release growth factors and begin the repair process. PRP therapy amplifies this natural response. Using a simple blood draw, we separate and concentrate your platelets to create a rich solution of growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then precisely injected into the injured or painful area, where it stimulates repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes long-term healing.
What to Expect During Treatment
-
A small sample of your blood is drawn.
-
The sample is processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate platelets.
-
Using ultrasound guidance, your provider injects the PRP directly into the injured tissue.
-
The procedure takes about 45–60 minutes, with little to no downtime afterward.
