PRP Injections

PRP injections are used for a range of conditions from sports injuries to chronic pain. It can aid in reducing inflammation, enhancing cellular growth, and accelerating your body’s natural healing process. Some of the most common uses of PRP therapy include the treatment of osteoarthritis and tendinitis. PRP therapy can also be used in aesthetic treatments, such as hair restoration and skin rejuvenation. 

A PRP injection is a low-risk procedure and does not usually cause major side effects. Since you are receiving your own plasma back, you won’t have any side effects from the substance itself. The process of any injection always comes with a slight risk of bleeding or infection. Our professionals will make every effort to mitigate these risks.

While PRP therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that is associated with very little risk, it’s not right for everyone. You likely won’t be considered a candidate for this treatment if you: 

• Are pregnant
• Have advanced-stage osteoarthritis
• Have a blood disorder and/or anemia
• Currently have an infection or cancer
• Are receiving anticoagulation therapy

No, there is no downtime.

Most of the patients who receive treatment will see some relief within a week after their first PRP injection. PRP helps your body heal, and this process can take some time. You should expect to notice continual improvement for a few weeks after your third injection.

After the initial regimen, it is recommended to be seen for a yearly booster. Depending on how your body responds to treatment, some individuals may need a booster more or less often. 

Discontinue any medications / supplements that may thin your blood unless prescribed by your provider. 

We recommend a minimum of 3 sessions with a minimum of 1 month apart each session.
