Platelet-Rich Plasma

Natural healing using platelets that circulate freely in the bloodstream.

When an injury occurs, platelets (cell fragments that flow freely in blood) become activated and rush to gather at the damaged site where they release proteins called growth factors that stimulate tissue repair. This is the beginning of the healing process.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can help speed up the healing process.

How’s It Work?

PRP is an injection to the site of the injury that promotes the healing of damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, and joints. This injection utilizes the patient’s own blood to stimulate tissue repair.

The entire production process is usually done in less than 30 minutes with the help of a centrifuge.

This procedure may or may not be covered by your insurance. Please discuss with your health care provider.
