PRP is most often considered for persistent pain or injury that hasn’t responded to rest, medications, or basic therapy. In our practice, we commonly use PRP as part of a treatment plan for:
- Knee osteoarthritis and knee pain
- Tendon problems (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, patellar tendon, Achilles issues)
- Shoulder pain (rotator cuff tendinopathy, biceps tendon, labral irritation)
- Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
- Hip and gluteal tendinopathy
- Spine-related pain (facets, SI joint, some disc-related symptoms in select cases)
- Sports and overuse injuries in active adults and athletes
Not everyone is a candidate for PRP. During your evaluation, we’ll review your history, imaging, exam, and goals to determine whether PRP or another treatment makes more sense.
