Discover the growth factors from your platelet rich plasma.
PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) TREATMENT IS EFFECTIVE FOR:
  • Osteoarthritis of the Knee, Shoulder & Hip
  • Rotator Cuff Strains & Tears
  • Knee Ligament Injuries
  • Neck/Lower Back Pain
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Tendonitis & Ligament Sprains
  • Partial Ligament Tears
  • Mild Cartilage Tears

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP treatment is an FDA-approved therapeutic plasma injection process for the growth, repair, and rehabilitation of connective tissue, such as shoulders, knees, hips, neck, back, etc.

PRP treatment aides the body’s natural healing process by delivering a higher concentration of platelets, directly into the area of need. Platelet Rich Plasma involves drawing a sample of your blood, which is centrifuged to isolate the blood platelets. This Platelet Rich Plasma is precisely injected back into the area in need of repair, enhancing the healing process.

HOW DOES PRP TREATMENT WORK?

To prepare platelet rich plasma injections (PRP injections), blood is drawn from the patient and is spun in a centrifuge at a high speed so that it is separated into is four components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. At that point, some of the plasma is removed, and the remaining plasma is mixed back in with the platelets. This forms a very “platelet-rich plasma” solution which is then injected into and around the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body’s natural healing signal. Because your own blood is used, there is no risk of a transmissible infection and a very low risk of allergic reaction.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED RESULTS?

Because the goal of platelet rich plasma therapy is to resolve pain through healing, it could prove to have lasting results. Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses. Research studies and clinical practice have shown PRP therapy to be very effective at relieving pain and returning patients to their normal lives. Both ultrasound and MRI images have shown definitive tissue repair after PRP therapy, confirming the healing process. The need for surgery can also be greatly reduced by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses and the condition is irreversible.

IS A PRP TREATMENT RIGHT FOR ME?

If you have a tendon or ligament injury and traditional methods have not provided relief, then PRP therapy may be the solution. The procedure is less aggressive and less expensive than surgery. It will heal tissue with minimal or no scarring, and alleviates further degeneration of the tissues. No ill effects have been reported in any of the many studies executed. This process uses the patient’s own blood thereby eliminating any chance of rejection response and minimizes the likelihood of injection. There will be an initial evaluation with your doctor to see if PRP therapy is right for you.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

PRP therapy is a fast and painless procedure. All treatments are performed in office and takes approximately one to two hours, including preparation and recovery time. In fact, most people return to their jobs or usual activities right after the procedure.
