How Do PRP Injections Work?
PRP therapy activates your body’s natural healing response by delivering a concentrated dose of growth factors and plasma directly to damaged tissues. This regenerative treatment is derived from your own blood, making it a safe and effective option for recovery.
Here’s how it works:
- Blood Draw – We collect a small sample of your blood.
- Processing – A centrifuge rapidly spins the sample, isolating the platelet-rich plasma.
- Injection – Your provider injects the PRP solution into the injured or inflamed area, helping stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair.
Sometimes, orthopedic surgeons use PRP during surgery (such as rotator cuff repair) to enhance post-surgical healing and improve recovery outcomes.
What Conditions Can PRP Injections Treat?
At MROrthopedics, we use PRP therapy to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including:
Sports Injuries & Soft Tissue Damage
PRP injections speed up recovery from muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries, including:
- Tennis elbow
- Achilles tendonitis
- Ligament tears
- Muscle strains
Whether you’re healing from an acute injury or managing a chronic condition, PRP therapy helps you regain strength and mobility faster.
Post-Surgical Healing
Surgeons initially used PRP injections to accelerate healing after cosmetic procedures. Now, orthopedic specialists rely on PRP to reduce recovery time following:
- Joint surgeries
- Tendon and ligament repairs
- Muscle procedures
By boosting the body’s natural repair process, PRP helps you heal more efficiently after surgery.
Osteoarthritis Relief
PRP therapy naturally reduces inflammation, making it a powerful alternative to cortisone shots for osteoarthritis. When injected into the affected joint, PRP:
- Eases pain
- Improves joint function
- Slows cartilage degeneration
Unlike traditional pain management methods, PRP works with your body to support long-term joint health.
What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment
Getting PRP injections is a quick and simple process that takes place in our office. Here’s what happens during your visit:
- We draw a small amount of blood.
- The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
- Your specialist injects the PRP into the treatment area. A topical numbing agent may be applied to ensure comfort.
Since PRP stimulates natural healing, results develop gradually over several weeks. Many patients notice continued improvement as new cells regenerate and inflammation decreases.
