About PRP Injections

What Is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities to promote recovery. The process involves drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, concentrating the platelets, rich in growth factors, and precisely injecting them into the targeted area. These growth factors help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall function, supporting faster and more effective healing.

Conditions Treated with PRP:

PRP therapy can be effective in treating a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Joint Pain (Knee, Hip, Shoulder, Elbow)
  • Tendon Injuries (Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis)
  • Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries
  • Sports Injuries
  • Chronic Soft Tissue Injuries
  • Cartilage Damage
  • Hair Growth
  • Smooth Fine Lines
  • Dry Eyes
  • Ocular Pressure
  • Breathing Issues

Benefits Of PRP Injections:

  • Natural Healing: Harnesses your body’s own regenerative abilities to support faster, more complete recovery.
  • Minimal Downtime: A non-surgical treatment option that allows patients to resume normal activities more quickly than traditional procedures.
  • Effective Pain Relief: Targets inflammation at the source, reducing pain and discomfort without reliance on long-term medication.
  • Safe and Minimally Invasive: A well-tolerated procedure with minimal risk and few side effects.
  • Enhanced Function and Mobility: Promotes restoration of strength, flexibility, and overall movement in affected areas.

How PRP Injections Work:

  1. Consultation and Evaluation: Your physician will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your condition, review your medical history, and determine whether PRP therapy is the most appropriate treatment for your needs.
  2. Blood Draw: A small blood sample is collected, typically from your arm.
  3. Processing the Blood: The sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
  4. Targeted Injection: The concentrated PRP is precisely injected into the affected area, often under local anesthesia to ensure comfort.
  5. Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Full healing occurs gradually over several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the condition and individual response to treatment.

Is PRP Therapy Right For You?

PRP therapy may be an effective option for individuals experiencing chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, or degenerative conditions. However, it is not appropriate for every patient. During your consultation, our specialists will carefully evaluate your condition and determine whether PRP injections are the most suitable treatment to support your recovery and long-term results.
