Explore the Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy offers a minimally invasive, nonsurgical approach to alleviate pain and enhance function. Platelets, specialized blood cells integral to healing, are concentrated from the patient’s blood and injected into the injured tissue to stimulate the body’s healing response.

Clinical studies demonstrate PRP’s efficacy in improving orthopedic injuries, potentially eliminating the need for more aggressive treatments like surgery or prolonged medication use.

Procedure Overview:

  • PRP is performed in-office, involving blood draw and centrifugation to concentrate platelets.
  • Ultrasound guidance ensures precise injection into the injured tissue, enhancing effectiveness.

Procedure Consideration:

  • In-office consultations are available for those within 80 miles, while remote candidates can submit required documents for evaluation.

Potential Risks and Comfort:

  • PRP is conducted under sterile conditions, with rare complications such as infection or bleeding.
  • Local anesthesia minimizes discomfort during injections, with mild swelling or soreness post-procedure.

Frequency and Coverage:

  • Most patients require only one PRP procedure, offering substantial pain relief.
  • While often considered experimental by insurance plans, PRP may be covered by Tricare for specific conditions.
  • Please note, individual outcomes may vary based on condition severity and overall health.
