PRP InjectionsPlatelet-rich plasma is derived from your own blood, which minimizes allergic and immunogenic risks. Reviews note a low incidence of adverse events, mainly transient swelling or bruising.Concentrated platelets are injected into the area causing discomfort, intentionally triggering a short-term inflammatory response that releases growth factors and stimulates tissue repair.
Your PRP AppointmentA nurse guides you into our preoperative area, where we review your health history and answer any questions you may have. A small blood sample is then drawn.The sample goes into a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate and concentrate your platelets under controlled, sterile conditions.In the procedure room your provider injects the concentrated platelets using ultrasound guidance, or X-ray guidance when needed, to ensure accurate placement.
After Your ProcedureYou may experience increased pain or soreness for several days following the injection. This is a normal and expected part of the healing process.Most patients notice gradual improvement over the following weeks as the body's natural healing process takes effect. This is your body doing the work.
Is This Right for YouResearch supports its use in osteoarthritis of the knee and lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow. A long-term follow-up of partial rotator cuff tears reported sustained results at two years.For muscle injuries, ankle sprains, and fractures the evidence is more mixed and benefit has been reported inconsistently. We discuss both benefits and limitations with every patient.Procedures are individualized based on the latest evidence, and every provider here is board-certified. Your physician will evaluate whether PRP fits your condition. The next step is a conversation.
