PRP Therapy

In PRP therapy, your blood is collected, and a special machine is used to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. The platelet-rich plasma is then utilized to inject back into the area of your body needing the treatment. For example, PRP can be injected into your knee for a ligament injury. Once the platelets are released into the area being treated, the platelets break down and release growth factors which are compounds that help cells repair and renew. 


PRP is helpful in treating a variety of pain-causing conditions, such as:

  • Torn tendons or tendinitis
  • Arthritic joint pain
