Accelerate Healing
with Your Own Biology.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) delivers a concentrated dose of autologous (your own) platelets directly to the site of injury, joint or soft tissue. Platelets then release growth factors that modulate the local environment, effectively suppressing inflammation and initiating a natural healing cascade to accelerate tissue repair.

Drawing Blood for Platelet Rich Plasma

How it works.

Diagnostic Process: Align exam findings with diagnostic imaging to ensure an accurate diagnosis and characterization of your injury or arthritic joint.

Harvest: We begin by drawing a small blood sample (usually 60-120 mL).

Processing: The blood undergoes two centrifugation cycles to separate red blood cells from a concentrated suspension of platelets, monocytes, and plasma.

Precision Placement: To ensure your comfort and the highest level of precision, we perform every injection using ultrasound guidance.

Common injuries and conditions we treat with PRP.

Shoulder

Glenohumeral and AC joint osteoarthritis, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), posterior labral tears, tendinopathies involving the rotator cuff and biceps tendons.

Elbow

Mild to moderate elbow osteoarthritis, incomplete UCL injuries, and tendinopathy of the biceps, triceps, and common flexor or extensor tendons.

Hip and Pelvis

Mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis, anterosuperior labral tears, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and tendinopathy of the gluteal, hamstring, hip flexor, and adductor tendons.

Knee

Mild to moderate osteoarthritis affecting the tibiofemoral or patellofemoral joints, meniscus tears, damaged ligaments (MCL, LCL), injured tendons (patellar, quadriceps, and biceps femoris), and insertional IT band injuries.

Ankle and Foot

Mild to moderate joint osteoarthritis, Achilles and ankle tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, ligamentous sprains (ATFL, CFL, PTFL, and Deltoid), and Morton’s neuromas.

Wrist and Hand

Mild to moderate wrist and hand osteoarthritis, TFCC injuries, trigger finger, and various forms of tendinopathy and tendinitis (notably de Quervain’s tenosynovitis).

Neck and Back

Compressed nerves (radiculitis/radiculopathy), painful disc tears, central canal stenosis, and facet joint pain.

Nerve Hydrodissection

Ultrasound-guided PRP hydrodissection for various nerve entrapments such as median neuropathy (Carpal Tunnel and Pronator Teres Syndrome) and ulnar neuropathy (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome).

What to expect.

Visit Length

PRP injections are performed in-office and usually completed within an hour.

Post-Treatment Recovery

Patients tend to experience several days of soreness at the injection site. Our team will fully support your recovery with a personalized plan for physical therapy and a gradual, guided return to your favorite activities.

Activity Protocol

Protection, light activity, and range-of-motion exercises for the first 3–7 days. Progress through the rehab protocol, aiming for a full return to activities within 4–6 weeks.

Results

Most patients see significant improvement within 4–12 weeks, with progress continuing for up to 6 months. Results vary by condition and individual factors.

Safety

PRP is a very safe treatment. While most patients experience only mild, temporary side effects like soreness, bruising and swelling, rare risks such as infection, nerve injury or increased pain can occur.

Medications

To maximize PRP effectiveness, please discontinue all NSAIDs and statins prior to your procedure, following the specific timeline provided by your specialist.

Why Choose PRP with us?

  • Image-guided accuracy for every injection to insure your comfort and the highest level of precision.
  • A comprehensive plan that pairs biological treatment with a data-driven rehabilitation roadmap tailored to your specific diagnosis and goals.
  • Thoughtful patient selection and candid counseling to align outcome expectations. PRP procedures are considered only after conservative care has been optimized, and as a strategic, minimally invasive alternative or bridge to surgery.

Is PRP right for you?

We’ll review your history, imaging, goals, and prior treatments to determine whether PRP is the most appropriate procedure for your condition.
