The treatment explained

How It Works

A small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets and growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into the injured or degenerated tissue under ultrasound guidance. The concentrated growth factors stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

Treatment day

What to Expect

30-45 minute procedure including blood draw and preparation time. You may experience temporary increased soreness at the injection site for 3-7 days as the healing response activates.

Afterward

Recovery

Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) for 2 weeks before and after treatment, as they can interfere with the healing response. Gradual return to activity over 2-6 weeks.

Duration of Relief

Results develop over 2-6 months as tissue healing occurs. Many patients experience lasting improvement. May be repeated for additional benefit.

PRP begins with a blood draw at your own appointment. The 30-45 minute visit includes the draw and the preparation time, and increased soreness at the injection site for 3-7 days afterwards is expected. Whether PRP is an appropriate option depends on your diagnosis and what you have already tried, so request an appointment to go through both. Request an appointment
