Platelet Rich Plasma
One vial of blood contains an extraordinary amount of healing potential ready to be tapped into and utilized. After collection, your blood is able to be separated into its different components: Erythrocytes (Red blood cells), White blood cells, and plasma.
What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Our clinical team prepares platelet-rich plasma using a sterile centrifugation process that separates specific components from your own blood.
PRP contains a concentration of platelets and naturally occurring growth factors that are believed to play a role in the body’s normal healing response. These biologically active proteins may support tissue signaling, inflammation modulation, and cellular activity within the treated area.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it is considered an autologous treatment, which generally reduces the risk of immune reaction.
Platelets are primarily known for their role in clot formation; however, they also release signaling molecules that may influence local tissue environments when introduced into targeted areas.
PRP procedures are intended to support joint function and tissue health. Individual responses vary, and specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
How Can Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Help you?
Platelet-rich plasma, once prepared from your own blood, contains a concentrated level of platelets and naturally occurring growth factors. When injected into targeted areas, PRP is intended to support the body’s normal healing response and local tissue environment.
PRP is commonly used in musculoskeletal care for patients experiencing tendon, ligament, muscle, bone, or joint concerns. While individual outcomes vary, the goal is to promote improved function and comfort through minimally invasive intervention.
The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes less than an hour from start to finish.
