PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to accelerate healing in injured or damaged tissues. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, then isolating and concentrating the platelets—cells responsible for clotting and tissue repair—before reinjecting them precisely into the affected area.
Our blood is composed of red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. In PRP therapy, platelets play a key role by releasing over 1,500 growth factors and proteins that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Plasma further supports these effects through its natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Each tissue—joint, tendon, muscle, and nerve—requires a specific PRP formulation to achieve optimal results. For this reason, treatment protocols are customized to the targeted region and condition, and may include high-dose PRP combined with additional growth factors to enhance regeneration and accelerate recovery.
What to Expect During PRP Therapy
Empowering your recovery through precision, comfort, and regenerative science.Each step of PRP therapy is performed with accuracy and care to ensure the best outcomes for your musculoskeletal health.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A detailed physical examination and advanced imaging (ultrasound or X-ray fluoroscopy, when needed) identify the exact region for treatment. This ensures the most accurate and personalized approach possible.
Platelet Preparation
A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelets and plasma proteins—the core elements that stimulate healing.
Guided Injection
Using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, platelet-rich plasma is precisely injected into the damaged tissue, minimizing discomfort and avoiding surrounding structures.
Comfort & Safety
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
Recovery & Results
Mild swelling or soreness may occur for 2–3 days. Most patients begin to feel improvement within 6–8 weeks, with healing continuing for months after the final session.
Platelet Lysate (PL)
Platelet lysate (PL) is a pure acellular liquid created from a patients’ platelets that is saturated in anti-inflammatory growth factors and cytokines. It has a high anti-inflammatory profile and contains small proteins that support nerve health.
Platelet lysate is often administered to hydrodissect dysfunctional fascia, especially when it is accompanied by chronic muscle tension, trigger points, or myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS). Our practitioners may elect to use it in lieu of a steroid epidural when treating those with pinched spinal nerves from disc herniations of stenosis. Individuals with arthritis and persistent fluid in the joint (effusion) have benefitted from receiving PL injections as well.

Empower your recovery through precision, comfort, and regenerative science. Each step of platelet lysate therapy is performed with care and accuracy to ensure the best outcomes for your musculoskeletal health.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A detailed physical examination and advanced imaging (ultrasound or X-ray fluoroscopy, when needed) identify the exact area for treatment. This ensures the most accurate and personalized approach possible.
Platelet Preparation
A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate plasma rich in platelets. The platelets are then lysed (broken open) to release concentrated growth factors and proteins, producing a pure, sterile lysate ready for injection.
Guided Injection
Using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, your provider precisely injects the lysate into the targeted area. This technique supports the repair of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and spinal structures with maximum precision and safety.
Comfort & Safety
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Depending on the complexity of the injury, the procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Recovery & Results
Mild soreness, swelling, or stiffness may occur during or after the procedure, but these symptoms are temporary and self-resolving. Results generally appear within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time as the body’s natural healing processes are engaged.
