How Does PRP Treatment Work?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood components to alleviate symptoms of certain orthopedic conditions. By leveraging the natural growth factors found in blood cells, PRP therapy aims to enhance the healing process in musculoskeletal tissues, promoting recovery and reducing pain.

Do the Injections Hurt?
The injection site, often within a joint, may cause temporary discomfort. Anesthesia is usually applied before the injection to minimize pain. After the procedure, some discomfort may occur due to the increased fluid in the injury site.
How Long Does Injection Therapy Take?
A PRP injection procedure typically takes about 1 hour.
Recovery Time for PRP
Most patients can resume normal activities within two to three days post-treatment and return to exercise within a few weeks. Recovery times may vary based on individual cases.
Insurance Coverage and Cost
