What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an innovative regenerative medicine treatment that harnesses your body's natural healing abilities to treat pain and injury. This minimally invasive procedure uses your own blood cells to stimulate healing and accelerate recovery, offering a natural alternative to surgery or medication-based treatments.

During the procedure, our specialists take a small sample of your blood and process it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets to levels up to 5-10 times higher than normal. These concentrated platelets contain natural growth factors and healing proteins that, when precisely injected into the injured area, help reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.

PRP therapy has gained significant recognition in sports medicine and pain management because it offers a natural solution for healing without the risks associated with surgery or long-term medication use. It's particularly effective for treating chronic tendon injuries, acute ligament and muscle injuries, and arthritis-related joint pain.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

Natural Healing Process

PRP uses your body's own healing mechanisms, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions and minimizing side effects. This natural approach helps your body heal from within, promoting long-term recovery rather than just masking symptoms.

Minimally Invasive Treatment

Unlike surgery, PRP therapy requires no incisions and can be completed in a single office visit. The procedure involves only a blood draw and targeted injections, resulting in minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime.

Long-Lasting Results

Many patients experience significant pain relief and improved function that can last 6-12 months or longer. The regenerative properties of PRP continue working over time, often providing progressive improvement in the treated area.

Versatile Application

PRP therapy can effectively treat multiple conditions throughout the body, from chronic joint pain to acute sports injuries. Its versatility makes it an excellent option for patients seeking comprehensive pain management solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Most patients benefit from a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, many patients experience significant improvement after just one session. Your doctor will recommend the optimal treatment plan based on your condition and response to therapy.

Is PRP therapy painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use local anesthetic when needed, and any post-procedure soreness typically resolves within a few days.

When will I see results from PRP therapy?

While some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, the full benefits of PRP therapy typically develop over 2-3 months as your body's natural healing processes work to repair tissue.

Does insurance cover PRP therapy?

Insurance coverage for PRP therapy varies by provider and condition. Our staff will work with your insurance company to determine coverage and discuss payment options if needed.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are minimal since PRP uses your own blood. You may experience temporary soreness, mild swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.

How long do results last?

Results can last 6-12 months or longer, depending on the condition treated and individual factors. Some patients experience permanent improvement, while others may benefit from periodic maintenance treatments.
