TREATMENT MODALITIES

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

A biologic treatment approach using concentrated components of your own blood to support the body’s natural repair processes.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous biologic therapy, meaning it is derived from your own blood.

During a brief in-office procedure, a small blood sample is collected and processed using controlled centrifugation to concentrate platelets and plasma proteins. The resulting preparation is then applied or injected into the targeted treatment area.

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it provides a biologically based treatment approach without introducing a donor-derived substance. PRP is used to support the local healing environment rather than simply masking discomfort.

Because PRP uses your own blood components, risks related to allergic reaction or disease transmission are generally low when appropriate standards are followed. Some patients experience temporary soreness or mild swelling at the treatment site. PRP is not appropriate for every condition or every patient — those with active infection, certain blood disorders, or specific medical conditions require individualized evaluation before treatment.

HOW PRP SUPPORTS THE BODY’S REPAIR PROCESS

Platelets play an important role in the body’s natural repair response. The process generally occurs through three overlapping phases:

1

INFLAMMATORY PHASE

Platelets release signaling proteins and growth factors that help initiate the body’s repair response and recruit cells to the treatment area.
2

PROLIFERATIVE PHASE

Fibroblasts contribute to collagen production while new blood-vessel formation supports oxygen and nutrient delivery to the developing tissue.
3

REMODELING PHASE

Collagen fibers reorganize and mature over time, supporting the continued development and strengthening of the treated tissue.

WHERE PRP MAY BE CONSIDERED

PRP may be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan depending on the condition being evaluated, medical history, and treatment goals.
Orthopedics

In selected cases, PRP may be considered as part of an individualized evaluation that also considers hormonal, vascular, and other relevant factors.

WHAT TO EXPECT

1

IN-OFFICE BLOOD DRAW

A small blood sample is collected in-office using sterile technique for treatment preparation.
2

CONTROLLED PROCESSING

The blood sample undergoes controlled centrifugation to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich layer.
3

TARGETED APPLICATION

The platelet-rich preparation is applied or injected into the treatment area identified during evaluation.
4

PERSONALIZED FOLLOW-UP

Your care team monitors your progress and adjusts your treatment plan as clinically appropriate.
FAQ

Common Questions

No. PRP concentrates platelets and plasma components from your own blood. It does not introduce stem cells. Your provider can explain the differences during your evaluation.
The number of sessions depends on your condition, treatment goals, and clinical evaluation. If PRP is recommended, your provider will outline an appropriate treatment plan.
Most patients tolerate PRP well. Mild soreness or tenderness may occur at the treatment site and typically improves within a few days. Your provider will discuss what to expect.
Insurance coverage varies by plan and treatment. Our team can review available information and help you understand your coverage options during your consultation.

DETERMINE WHETHER PRP IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU

PRP is considered following a comprehensive clinical evaluation. Schedule a consultation to discuss your condition, treatment goals, and whether PRP is an appropriate option for your care.
