Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the more common regenerative treatments we offer, and patients often have questions about what the actual appointment looks like. Here's a general walkthrough of the process.
Before any procedure, we review your diagnosis, prior imaging, and treatment goals to determine whether PRP is a reasonable option for your specific condition.
PRP starts with a small blood draw, similar to routine lab work. Your blood is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
The concentrated platelet solution is injected into the treatment area using image guidance to help ensure precise placement.
Most patients return to normal activity the same day or shortly after, with the full effect of treatment developing gradually over the following weeks as the tissue responds.
Candidacy for any regenerative treatment depends on diagnosis, imaging, medical history, and your goals. We'll discuss the benefits, risks, cost, and alternatives so you can decide with confidence.
Whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or exploring regenerative treatment options, our team is here to help.
