What Is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that enhances your body’s own healing process to reduce pain and promote tissue repair.

How PRP Therapy Works

PRP is created from a small sample of your own blood. The platelets (small cells that help your blood clot) are separated and concentrated by spinning them at high speeds. The concentrated plasma is then injected back into the injured area to help your body heal damaged tissues.

Does PRP Work for Joint and Spine Problems?

Your platelets contain special proteins that help your body:

  • Reduce inflammation
  • Stimulate new tissue growth
  • Improve blood flow
  • Accelerate your natural healing process

When we inject PRP directly into your joint or spine area, helping your body heal more than it can on its own.
