Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

PRP injections offer a regenerative solution to various musculoskeletal and dermatological conditions. By harnessing the body's natural healing properties, this innovative therapy promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation through the concentration of platelets derived from the patient's own blood.

​

Typically performed in an outpatient setting, the procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the PRP into the targeted area. This process usually takes about 20-30  minutes and is known for its minimal downtime and low risk of complications. Ideal candidates include those with chronic pain or injuries that have not responded to conservative treatments. The procedure aims to enhance the body's natural healing processes, providing relief and promoting recovery.

​

Although generally safe, there are potential risks, such as infection or pain at the injection site, which are minimized by skilled technique and sterile procedures. Ultimately, PRP injections can help restore function and improve the quality of life for many patients.

How PRP Injection Works

PRP injection is a regenerative therapy designed to accelerate the healing of injured tissues. The procedure begins with drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. These concentrated platelets, rich in growth factors, are injected into the affected area to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

​

A tendon, ligament, joint, or muscle is the specific target for the injection, which is properly delivered with the guidance of ultrasonography or other imaging modalities. PRP's growth factors help the body heal itself by promoting the body's natural healing mechanisms, which help to restore damaged tissues and lessen pain and inflammation.

The minimally invasive nature of PRP injections offers several benefits, including shorter recovery times, reduced scarring, and lower risk of complications. This procedure can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with chronic pain or injuries that have not responded to other treatments.
