PRP Injections

---

Platelet  Rich Plasma, also known as PRP, has been shown to help relieve pain by  assisting the healing process of musculoskeletal conditions. This treatment is used for many common injuries and degenerative conditions,  including ankle sprains, tendonitis, common ligament sprains, knee  injuries, osteoarthritis, shoulder, hip, rotator cuff tears, and even  tennis elbow.

Many professional athletes have received non-surgical or post-surgical treatment for their sports injuries with PRP injections.

Your  body responds to injuries by delivering platelet cells containing  growth and healing factors to an injured area. These platelets initiate a repair process and attract the critical assistance of stem cells. PRP  therapy aids the body’s natural healing process by delivering a higher concentration of platelets directly to the area of need. This is done  by drawing a blood sample, which is then centrifuged to isolate  your blood platelets. It is then precisely injected back into the area in need of repair. The concentrated blood platelets contain growth factors that improve your body’s natural ability to heal itself and stimulate multi-potent cells in the injured area to form new tendon, cartilage, or ligaments as required. 

PRP  therapy is a fairly simple procedure that will require a short time at  our clinic. Patients typically require no downtime once the procedure is completed. It is a simple injection procedure that requires no  anesthesia and little recovery time. Patients typically require 2-3  repeat injections, depending on the severity of their condition.

Patients  may experience improvements within the first couple of weeks, with continued improvements over time along with the possibility of repeat  injections.
