Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses your body's own healing properties to accelerate recovery. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets (which contain growth factors), and then re-injecting it into the area of injury. This stimulates natural healing and can reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and improve function.
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

• Natural Healing: Uses your body's own healing capabilities to promote faster recovery.
• Minimal Downtime: Non-surgical with less recovery time compared to traditional treatments.
• Effective Pain Relief: Reduces inflammation and alleviates pain without the need for long-term medication.
• Safe and Minimally Invasive: A simple and well-tolerated procedure with minimal side effects.
• Improves Function and Mobility: Helps restore function, strength, and movement to affected areas.

1. Consultation and Evaluation: Your physician will perform a thorough evaluation of your condition, discuss your medical history, and determine if PRP therapy is the right option for you.
2. Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is taken, usually from your arm.
3. Processing the Blood: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from the rest of the blood components.
4. Injection into the Target Area: The concentrated PRP is then carefully injected into the site of injury or degeneration. This process is typically done under local anesthesia.
5. Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, though full healing may take a few weeks to months, depending on the condition.
