PRP stands for “platelet rich plasma.” Platelets are the body’s natural wound healers, found in the blood’s plasma, along with red and white blood cells. Platelets contain proteins called growth factors. These proteins play a key role in the healing process. With this treatment your body’s own platelets are concentrated into an injectable solution to trigger the natural reparative process.
If you are experiencing joint pain, osteoarthritis, or chronic tendon pain, you should learn more about PRP treatments. If physical therapy has failed to bring adequate relief, or you prefer to avoid cortisone and pain medications; you may be a candidate for PRP injections. A consultation with our team of physicians will explain whether PRP injections could be an effective treatment for you.
PRP contains over 1500 proteins called growth factors, which may aid in healing and inflammation of soft tissue injuries and arthritis. After drawing your blood, unwanted white and red blood cells are removed, concentrating platelets and plasma. This purified plasma solution is precisely injected to potentially trigger the body’s natural healing process.
Typical treatment takes an around 30-minutes. The time includes the drawing of blood and separating the platelets as well as the administration of any local anesthetics and the injections.
There is minimal downtime associated with PRP injections, and most people can expect to return to daily activities shortly following their procedure. It's common to experience mild tenderness at the injection site, which is normal and typically resolves within a few days. The recovery time necessary before returning to strenuous use of the treated area will depend on the region treated and the extent of the injury. Oftentimes, because PRP is a natural therapy, the body will provide patients with true feedback regarding when to advance specific activities.
PRP can be used in most areas of the body to help potentially accelerate healing and reduce pain. PRP is frequently injected directly into involved joints, muscle, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.
As the injection contains your own blood platelets it is unlikely that you will experience adverse reactions. There may be temporary discomfort associated with the injection sites as well as some pain or inflammation for the first few days. As with many medical procedures there are associated risks which should be discussed with your physician prior to undergoing treatment.
This varies for every individual and the injection site. Some mild discomfort or tenderness at the injection site is normal and typically subsides within a few days. To minimize discomfort during the injection process, we offer local anesthetics.
Depending on the injection site and the overall health of the individual it may take several weeks of optimal results as the body takes time to heal naturally. Injections into joints or muscles tend to exhibit signs of healing faster than tendons which have less circulation.
Both PRP therapy and cortisone shots address joint pain and inflammation but work differently. Cortisone provides quick, temporary relief by reducing inflammation, though repeated use may weaken tissues. PRP uses your own platelets to promote healing and regeneration, offering longer-lasting benefits. While cortisone is ideal for short-term relief, PRP supports long-term recovery and joint health. Our team can help determine which treatment best suits your needs.
No, you won’t need someone to drive you home. Depending on the area being treated and the extent of the treatment, most patients can safely drive themselves.
