WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing. A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—cells that contain powerful growth factors essential for tissue repair.

How PRP promotes healing:

  • Platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue repair
  • Concentrated healing factors are delivered directly to the injured area
  • PRP promotes new blood vessel formation for improved circulation
  • The treatment recruits your body's stem cells to the injury site
  • Reduces inflammation while promoting actual tissue healing

PRP VS. CORTISONE: A BETTER ALTERNATIVE

Many patients come to us after multiple cortisone injections that provided only temporary relief. While cortisone reduces inflammation, it doesn't promote healing—and repeated injections can actually weaken tissue over time.

PRP takes the opposite approach: rather than suppressing inflammation, it enhances your body's natural healing response. The result is actual tissue repair rather than temporary symptom relief.

Conditions effectively treated with PRP:

  • Chronic plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Ankle sprains with ligament damage
  • Arthritis in foot and ankle joints
  • Chronic tendon injuries
  • Non-healing wounds

THE PRP PROCESS

  • Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm (similar to a standard blood test)
  • Processing: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets (about 15 minutes)
  • Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected directly into the injured area
  • Total Time: The entire process takes about 45-60 minutes
  • Recovery: Most patients return to work the same day or next day
  • Results: Improvement begins within 2-4 weeks, with continued healing over 2-3 months

YOUR BODY'S OWN HEALING POWER

PRP therapy is safe, effective, and uses your body's own healing potential. It's an ideal option for patients looking for alternatives to surgery or cortisone injections.
