At NW Spinal Rehabilitation, we provide advanced Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to support healing from injuries and help manage chronic pain — without the need for invasive surgery. PRP treatment works by drawing on your body's own healing mechanisms, extracting platelet-rich plasma from your blood and injecting it precisely into areas of injury or persistent pain. Because platelets are rich in growth factors that support tissue repair and regeneration, PRP offers a natural, innovative path to relief.
Whether you're recovering from a sports injury or seeking a non-surgical alternative to conventional pain treatments, our Pasco clinic has the expertise and solutions you're looking for. Call us today to schedule a consultation and find out how PRP therapy can support your recovery.
How the PRP Injection Procedure Works
The process begins with drawing a small blood sample from the patient. That sample is placed into a centrifuge and spun at high speed to concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then carefully injected into the target area — whether that's an injured tendon, ligament, muscle, or joint.
The full procedure typically takes around an hour, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities the same day. While some mild discomfort at the injection site is possible, the majority of patients find the treatment very manageable with minimal recovery time.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Injections?
PRP therapy is well-suited for patients seeking a natural, minimally invasive solution for pain and injury. It may be especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain conditions like arthritis, sports injuries such as tendonitis or ligament tears, muscle strains or sprains, joint pain in the knee, shoulder, or ankle, and slow-healing or stubborn injuries.
If you're exploring options beyond surgery or long-term medication, PRP therapy could be an excellent addition to your treatment plan. Reach out to our Pasco team today to find out whether you're a good candidate for this regenerative approach.
