PRP Therapy
Harnessing Your Body's Healing Factors for Joint Recovery
Overview
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and osteoarthritic joints.
Because it uses your own cells, PRP is a natural, highly safe alternative to steroid injections for early joint preservation.
Common Symptoms & Indications
- ✕ Chronic tendonitis (Tennis Elbow/Achilles tendonitis)
- ✕ Mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
- ✕ Chronic ligament sprains
- ✕ Persistent joint pain unresponsive to standard therapy
Surgical Procedure & Tech
A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelets. The concentrated plasma is then injected directly into the affected joint or tendon under sterile conditions.
Key Recovery Benefits
- ✓ Natural healing using your own blood
- ✓ Zero risk of allergic reaction
- ✓ Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
- ✓ Reduces inflammation and delays joint degeneration

Frequently Asked Questions
PRP is an injection of concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood that releases growth factors to stimulate tissue healing.
The injection causes mild, temporary discomfort. Local anesthetic is sometimes used to minimize pain at the injection site.
Most patients require 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the severity of the condition.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours and avoid taking anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) as they block the healing response.
