Platelet Rich Plasma Joint Injections

PRP injections are healing tools utilized by some of the world’s top athletes. It can also be injected into injured tendons or ligaments. Instead of months of downtime, you can return to activities in just weeks.


PRP is a regenerative therapy that helps your body repair itself, you regain mobility and comfort in your joints over the weeks to months after your injections. Your improvements continue as your body builds healthy new tissues over the next six months.

Most women and men with joint pain need a series of PRP injections to get the level of improvement they want. Yearly touch-ups are also recommended to keep your joints healthy.

    The most common causes of joint pain include:

    • Arthritis
    • Sports injury

    • Tendonitis
    • Overuse
    • Gout

    Whether your joint pain is from arthritis, a sports injury, or one of the many other possible causes, you can find relief from PRP treatment.

  • What Is the Procedure Like?

    We will draw a small amount of blood, spin it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The resulting golden fluid is rich with growth factors and cytokines. Once the PRP serum is ready, we inject it directly into the site of your pain and discomfort. The growth factors stimulate your body to produce fibroblasts and endothelial cells, which reduce inflammation. The growth factors also help your body produce healthy new blood vessels, increasing circulation to the area to accelerate repair and flush away waste materials. Besides rebuilding damaged tissue, PRP injections also reduce inflammation and pain, and stimulate joint lubrication. This lubrication eases joints’ stiffness and restores more of their overall function.
