Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Understanding PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Platelets—best known for their role in blood clotting—also contain growth factors and signaling proteins that play important roles in tissue repair and regeneration. When tissue is injured, platelets are among the first responders, releasing these factors to initiate and coordinate the healing process.

PRP therapy concentrates platelets and their bioactive contents for therapeutic use. By delivering a high concentration of growth factors directly to damaged tissue, PRP aims to amplify your body’s natural repair response.

How It Works

How PRP Therapy Works

PRP therapy begins with drawing a blood sample. This sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich portion. The resulting PRP—containing several times the normal concentration of platelets—is then injected into the treatment area.

Because PRP comes entirely from your own blood, there are no concerns about rejection, allergic reactions, or disease transmission.

Where

Applications

PRP therapy has applications across various musculoskeletal conditions. Joint conditions including osteoarthritis may benefit from PRP’s growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties. Tendon injuries and tendinopathy represent another common application. Ligament injuries, muscle injuries, and support for post-surgical healing are other applications.

PRP may be used alone or in combination with stem cell therapy, depending on your specific condition and treatment goals.

Expectation

What to Expect

The injection itself causes mild discomfort. Afterward, you may experience some soreness and swelling at the treatment site, typically resolving within several days. Response timelines vary. PRP therapy is often performed as a series of treatments rather than a single injection.

Coordination

Coordination of Care

Coordination with your neurologist and other healthcare providers is essential. Regenerative therapy should complement appropriate medical management, not replace it. We encourage patients to discuss regenerative options with their neurological care team.
