Platelet rich plasma (PRP) works by injecting a concentration of your own platelets, into the damaged area using ultrasound-guided injection technology. This in turn stimulates restoration.

An increasing number of professional athletes and recreational enthusiasts are turning to joint rejuvenation therapies as safe and effective methods to heal their bodies and return to their sport. Fortunately, these therapies are available to everyone from high school athletes to weekend warriors or those simply looking for an alternative to surgery.

The regenerative injection therapies include the widely known and clinically applied: platelet rich plasma (PRP). Regenerative injections are outpatient procedures that involve an injection of concentrated growth factors to regenerate and heal tissues in injured, painful, or degenerative joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Injection therapies can be used to treat acute or chronic pain conditions or injuries.

Our bodies have the capacity to heal from many injuries on their own; however, some joints have little blood flow and therefore a slowed healing capacity, making recovery difficult without intervention. Regenerative therapies work by stimulating the body's natural ability to repair while reducing recovery time. Since the goal of regenerative therapy is to heal tissue and not mask pain, the therapy can have long-lasting results.

For this procedure we conduct a blood draw similar to a routine blood test and place it in a unique centrifuge. This machine creates a solution of platelets, rich in growth factors and inflammatory mediators essential for healing tissue.

Due to the amplified concentration of the platelets and growth factors, tissue repair and regeneration is accelerated.
