Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated form of your own platelets to stimulate healing. Platelets carry growth factors that support tissue repair, making PRP a minimally invasive option for tendon and ligament injuries, arthritis, and persistent joint pain.
PRP therapy is a straightforward, same-day process:
Blood draw
A small amount of your blood is drawn.
Centrifuge
The sample spins at high speed to separate the platelets from red and white blood cells.
Concentration
The platelets are concentrated into platelet-rich plasma.
Targeted injection
The PRP is injected into the injured joint, tendon, or ligament, often with image guidance.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated form of your own platelets to stimulate healing. Platelets contain growth factors that support tissue repair.
A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the red and white blood cells. The concentrated platelets are then injected.
PRP is used for tendon and ligament injuries, such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff tears, mild to moderate arthritis, and persistent joint pain that has not responded to rest or medication.
Autologous PRP, made from your own blood, is FDA regulated. Because it uses your own platelets, the risk of an allergic reaction is minimal.
Some patients notice improvement within weeks, while full results may take several months as tissue heals.
