Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is the process of isolating the platelets found in the patients own plasma and injecting it directly into the tissue resulting in orthopedic healing and pain reduction and elimination. PRP has been found to be one of the most effective procedures for regenerating the body’s own healing processes.

Your blood contains plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets are rich in hundreds of proteins called growth factors, necessary for the healing of degenerative damage. Platelet-rich plasma treatments contain a significantly higher platelet count than typically found in blood, which helps fast-track healing.

PRP therapy begins with drawing a sample of your blood and spinning it in a specialized medical device that separates the components of your blood, allowing our highly skilled medical staff to concentrate the platelets to higher levels than what would typically be found in your bloodstream. When injected at the site of your pain, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) induces and accelerates your body’s natural healing abilities.
