PRP is made by drawing a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—cells that release growth factors and proteins essential for tissue repair. The resulting plasma is then injected into the affected area under ultrasound or image guidance for precise placement.
PRP injections are typically recommended for patients who haven’t found relief from conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, or anti-inflammatory medications. Because PRP uses your own blood, there’s little risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
The procedure usually takes about 30–60 minutes and is performed in the office. You may experience mild soreness or swelling for a few days as the healing process begins. Improvement typically develops gradually over several weeks as new tissue forms and inflammation subsides.
PRP therapy can provide lasting relief and improved function without surgery, helping you return to the activities you enjoy with less pain and greater mobility.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to repair damaged tissues, reduce pain, and promote long-term recovery. It’s a minimally invasive option often used for orthopedic conditions such as joint injuries, tendon or ligament damage, and chronic inflammation.
