What Are Platelet-
Rich Plasma (PRP)
Injections?

PRP injections are a non-surgical treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing process to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets and the growth factors found within them. When injected into an injured or arthritic joint, these growth factors stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms, helping to repair damaged tissue, improve function, and alleviate pain.

Your Initial Consultation

Initial consultation is an essential first step in determining whether PRP joint injections are the right option for you. During this visit, our provider will review your medical history, assess your joint health, and discuss your symptoms and treatment goals. This personalized evaluation ensures a clear understanding of what to expect, allowing our team to develop a tailored plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns.

Before and Afters

PRP Joint Injections: A Step-by-Step Procedure

Preparation

The procedure begins with the collection of a normal blood specimen from the patient. The blood consists of three main solid components—red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets—suspended in a liquid component known as plasma. The sample is carefully handled to preserve the integrity of these elements, which are essential for the regenerative benefits of the treatment.

Processing the Blood

Once collected, the blood is placed in a centrifuge machine, which spins at high speed to separate the different components. This process isolates a high concentration of platelets from the other blood components, including red and white blood cells. The resulting platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that play a key role in stimulating tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

Preparing the Injection Site

Before the PRP is administered, the joint area is cleaned and prepped, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the injection. This ensures the procedure is as comfortable as possible while maintaining precision.

Injection

The concentrated PRP is then carefully injected into the targeted joint using image-guided techniques if necessary. The platelets within the plasma begin to release growth factors that encourage the body’s natural healing process, promoting tissue regeneration and improving joint function.

Recovery & Aftercare

Following PRP joint injections, the body begins a natural healing process that may include mild swelling or soreness at the injection site, similar to what occurs after other orthopedic treatments. Platelets release growth factors that support tissue repair while forming blood clots, allowing the joint to gradually regain function. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, and the regenerative effects continue to improve joint comfort over time. Thus, greater healing properties enable patients to experience enhanced mobility and reduced discomfort as the treatment progresses.

Aftercare Tips

Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 48 hours after the injection.
Apply ice to the injection site to minimize swelling and discomfort.
Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications, as they can interfere with the PRP’s healing effects.
Gradually return to normal activities as tolerated, following guidance from our healthcare provider.
Attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress and discuss any concerns about pain or joint function.
