At your initial visit we will:
- Review your symptoms, goals, and activity demands
- Examine the involved area and related biomechanics
- Review or order imaging if needed
- Discuss all reasonable options: PRP, other orthobiologics, injections, therapy, or surgical referral when appropriate
If PRP is a good fit, we’ll walk you through:
- The target structures (joint, tendon, ligament, or spine-related tissue)
- Number of injections recommended
- How PRP fits into your broader treatment and rehab plan
- Cost and expected timeline for follow-up
On the Day of Your PRP Procedure
- A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- The sample is placed into a PRP processing system to concentrate your platelets.
- The target area is cleaned, anesthetized as appropriate, and visualized with ultrasound and/or fluoroscopy.
- PRP is injected precisely into the tissue we’ve identified as a pain generator or contributor.
Most people go home the same day and can return to light activities quickly, with some soreness expected around the treated area.
