What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the newest ways to help with recovery, injury, and pain relief. PRP uses a highly concentrated solution of your body’s own platelets to accelerate the natural healing of damaged tissue. Platelets are found in your blood and play an important role in healing injuries. Growth factors and proteins found in the platelets speed up the body’s tissue repair process, especially in degenerative tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) that have not healed correctly initially after an injury or from overuse.

Injury Recovery
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used by many professional athletes. Superstars like Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Tiger Woods, and Maria Sharapova during some of their most difficult injuries and reported incredible benefits. However, you do not have to be an elite athlete to take advantage of the benefits offered by regenerative medicine.
PRP has been proved to accelerate the rate at which tissue heals. For injuries related to tendons, ligaments, and muscles it has proven to be highly effective. Especially for ligament injuries which are usually the most lengthy and difficult. This is recommended for those that want to speed up the healing time.
PRP has been shown to help calm inflammation. This is because platelets are cell fragments that have growth factors that produce fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Your body uses these to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
PRP is minimally invasive. It is performed via injections that are prepared by taking a few tubes of your own blood and running it to what is known as a centrifuge, to concentrate the platelets. We call these “activated platelets” and are injected into the area of injury.
FAQ
Some patients may experience dizziness, mild nausea, and fainting after PRP.
Some of the potential side effects of PRP include:
- Pain in the injured area where injections are performed.
- Allergic Reaction
- Blood Clot
- Discoloration of the skin
Some patients may require touch-up injections about once a year.
PRP is not recommended for patients that have a medical condition that can worsen with injections.
Potential Alternative
To Surgery
Like any treatment option, the results depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of the injury. PRP treatment could potentially help you avoid surgeries such as knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement, spinal fusion, and more.
Like any treatment option, the results depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of the injury. Both PRP and Orthobiologics (sometimes used in tandem) could potentially help you avoid surgeries such as: knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement, spinal fusion, and more.

FAQ
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) differs from Orthobiologics in that it uses the healing components found in blood plasma as opposed to Orthobiologics to heal.
Generally speaking PRP injections are not painful; however, the discomfort level depends on the part of the body being treated. Injections into the joint are of minimal discomfort.
According to sports-health.com
“In one of the largest studies2 examining PRP, 230 patients with painful tennis elbow (lateral epicondylar tendinopathy) were treated with either a PRP injections or traditional treatments. After 24 weeks, nearly 84 percent of patients who received the PRP injections reported a 25 percent or greater reduction in pain, while 68.3 percent of the control group (p = 0.037) reported similar results.”
Many patients have reported seeing a major difference in just a few weeks. However, patient results vary.
The majority of insurance companies consider PRP to be experimental so it will not cover the cost. However, some will pay for the consultation and other expenses incurred during the procedure.
Common Conditions
PRP has been commonly used to treat a variety of conditions such as: tennis below (lateral epicondylitis), rotator cuff tendinitis, Achilles tendinopathy, jumper’s knee (patellar tendinitis) as well as other tendon irritations. It’s shown high effectiveness for chronic tendon conditions, bursitis around the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints. It is proven to help treat pain associated with the hip, knee, and shoulder osteoarthritis.

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a very common injury suffered by athletes involved in high-intensity sports like football, basketball, and/or soccer. A torn ACL can be excruciating and the recovery process can be lengthy. PRP injections can be a very effective alternative to ACL reconstruction surgery.
A sports hernia can be an excruciating and potentially career-ending injury. It often occurs while performing sports that require a sudden change of movement or change of direction. PRP has been a very effective treatment of this injury.
Tendinosis refers to the thickening and scarring of the tendons. When this occurs the result could be both pain and a loss of flexibility in the joint combined with burning pain and swelling. PRP and/or Orthobiologics has been a very effective treatment for this injury.
