PRP Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote healing in injured or degenerative tissues. The procedure involves drawing a blood sample, concentrating the platelets—cells essential for tissue repair, and reinjecting them precisely into the affected area.

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 bioactive proteins that stimulate regeneration, reduce inflammation, and help relieve pain. Plasma further enhances these effects through its natural anti-inflammatory properties.

Unlike corticosteroid injections, which may provide short-term symptom relief but have been associated with toxic effects on cartilage and tendon cells, PRP represents a biological alternative. It exhibits chondroprotective and tenoprotective properties, helping preserve tissue integrity and potentially reducing the risk of progression of osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathies.

Because each tissue joint, tendon, muscle, or nerve—has specific biological needs, PRP formulations and treatment protocols are tailored to the targeted structure and condition, and may include high-dose PRP or additional growth factors to optimize regeneration and recovery.

What to Expect During PRP Therapy

Empower 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 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 target tissue, minimizing discomfort and avoiding surrounding structures.

Comfort & Safety

The treatment area is thoroughly disinfected, 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 swelling or soreness may occur for 2–3 days. Mild pain and discomfort can last up to 2 weeks after the injection. Most patients begin to feel improvement within 6–8 weeks, with healing continuing for months. The result is normally evaluated 12 weeks after the treatment.

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). It may be used in lieu of a steroid when treating inflamed nerves. Individuals with arthritis and persistent fluid in the joint (effusion) have benefitted from receiving PL injections as well.

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 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, PL is precisely injected into the target tissue, minimizing discomfort and avoiding surrounding structures.

Comfort & Safety

The treatment area is thoroughly disinfected, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Depending on the complexity of the injury, the procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes.
