PRP therapy is usually done in-office and takes 30 minutes to an hour, from pre-procedural prep to bandaging injection sites. After identifying the tailored PRP solution needed to treat your pain, blood is drawn from your arm and run through a centrifuge which separates the blood into its components. Plasma, which contains the beneficial platelets, is collected and further refined, concentrating these vital platelets and healing molecules. Once this is done, the site of treatment will be prepared for injection. A local anesthetic may be injected into the treatment area, helping to minimize any discomfort. The final, personalized PRP solution is then injected into the affected area (joint space, disc or soft tissue such as tendons or ligaments). Ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance is frequently used to ensure precise delivery of PRP. Our clinical team will walk you through each step of your procedure, providing you with the information and guidance you need to maximize recovery.
