Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Procedure
PRP therapy utilizes the body’s own healing power by extracting platelet-rich plasma from your blood and injecting it into areas of injury or chronic pain. Platelets contain growth factors that aid in tissue repair and regeneration, making PRP an innovative, natural option for pain relief.
PRP injections begin with drawing a small sample of your blood. This sample is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to concentrate the platelets. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the targeted area, such as an injured tendon, ligament, muscle, or joint.
The entire procedure takes about an hour, and patients can often return to regular activities the same day. There may be mild discomfort at the injection site, but most patients find the treatment highly tolerable with minimal downtime.
Who Is Right for PRP Injections
PRP therapy is ideal for individuals looking for a natural, non-invasive treatment for pain and injuries. It can be particularly beneficial if you're dealing with:
- Chronic pain conditions like arthritis
- Sports injuries such as tendonitis or ligament tears
- Muscle strains or sprains
- Joint pain, including knee, shoulder, or ankle discomfort
- Slow-healing injuries
