What is PRP Therapy?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to support the body’s natural healing response. A small blood sample is drawn and placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates platelets into a smaller volume of plasma. Platelets contain signaling proteins (often called growth factors) that help regulate inflammation and can stimulate repair activity in certain tissues. That concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted area, typically using imaging guidance to improve accuracy.

What Does PRP Help With?

PRP is most commonly used for certain tendon and ligament problems and for some types of joint pain, including mild to moderate osteoarthritis. The goal is usually to reduce pain and improve function over time. It is not an instant fix. Most people who respond notice improvement gradually over several weeks to a few months.

Setting Realistic Expectations

PRP Therapy is not a miracle cure, and the responses will vary based on many factors such as the condition being treated, how advanced the damage is, overall health factors, and activity demands.

PRP will not rebuild a severely arthritic joint, and does not replace surgery when surgery is needed. It can, however, speed up the healing process, reduce pain, and increase the overall quality of life for many patients.
