Your blood contains platelets—cell fragments rich in growth factors and signaling molecules that help coordinate healing. With PRP:
- We draw a small sample of your blood.
- The blood is processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.
- The PRP is injected into the precise area of irritation or injury using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.
The goal is to support your body’s natural repair processes, not to “grow a new joint” or promise a cure. Improvement can be gradual over weeks to months, and we often combine PRP with:
- Targeted physical therapy
- Strength and mobility programs
- Sleep, stress, and load management strategies
- MLS laser and other non-operative treatments, when appropriate
