Supporting natural tissue repair and joint health using your body’s own growth factors.
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, to stimulate and support your body’s natural repair processes. PRP is a safe, minimally invasive treatment designed to promote healing for tendinitis, arthritis, ligament injuries, and chronic joint pain.
How PRP Therapy Works
Your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the affected tissue or joint. The concentrated platelets release growth factors that:
- Support tissue repair and regeneration
- Modulate inflammation
- Encourage improved blood flow and healing
The goal is to enhance your body’s natural healing response, not just mask symptoms.
Conditions PRP Therapy May Support
- Osteoarthritis or early joint degeneration
- Tendinitis, bursitis, and ligament injuries
- Chronic joint or muscle pain
- Post-injury recovery
Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment
- Uses your own blood for a natural, biocompatible approach
- Supports tissue repair rather than masking symptoms
- Can be combined with other regenerative therapies like A2M, Shockwave, or Donated Cellular Products
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a PRP treatment take?
The procedure is typically completed in 30–60 minutes, including blood draw and processing. Because PRP supports tissue repair rather than simply masking pain, results often develop gradually over several weeks.
Is PRP safe?
Yes. PRP uses your own blood, minimizing risk of reaction. All procedures are performed under sterile conditions in our office.
How soon will I notice results?
Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, but full benefits may take several weeks to months as your tissue responds to the treatment. The goal is long-term healing rather than immediate symptom masking.
Is PRP covered by insurance?
PRP therapy is generally considered elective and is not typically covered by insurance. Our staff will review all costs, financing, and options with you before treatment begins.
