What is PRP therapy?

PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.

Platelets are naturally rich in growth factors — proteins that repair tissue, promote cell regeneration, and encourage the formation of new blood vessels.

How PRP is prepared:

1. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
2. The sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate and concentrate the platelets.
3. The prepared PRP is injected into the injured or painful area to enhance the body’s natural repair process.

What conditions can PRP therapy help?

PRP therapy may be recommended for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Degenerative disc disease
• Neck and back pain
• Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder
• Meniscal and ACL injuries
• Tendon injuries, such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendinitis
• Ligament sprains or tears
• Chronic joint pain
• Muscle strains or overuse injuries
• Neuropathy
  

Because PRP uses your body’s own cells, it’s well-tolerated and carries minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.

How is PRP therapy performed?

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to confirm that PRP therapy is the right option for your condition.

During the procedure:

• A small blood sample is drawn from your arm.
• The PRP is prepared using a centrifuge to isolate the concentrated platelets.
• The PRP is then injected directly into the targeted area under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for precise placement.

The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day, although resting the treated area for a short period is usually recommended.

What results can patients expect?

Results vary based on the severity of the condition and individual healing responses, but many patients begin noticing improvements within a few weeks as tissue repair progresses.

Benefits may include:

• Pain relief
• Improved mobility
• Reduced inflammation
  

These improvements often continue for several months. While some patients achieve significant results with a single session, others may benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
