PRP Joint Injections
PRP Joint Injections
PRP Joint Injections, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma injections, are growing in popularity as a treatment for joint pain. PRP is a natural and effective way to treat joint pain and has been used for years to treat conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, and arthritis.
The process of PRP injections begins with a blood sample being taken from the patient. The blood is then spun inside a centrifuge, which separates the plasma from the blood cells. An injection of platelet-rich PRP is then administered directly to the joint. The platelets contain proteins and growth factors that help the body’s natural healing process and can reduce inflammation and pain.
PRP Joint Injections typically provide results within a few days of treatment. The effects of the PRP injections can last for months, depending on the severity of the joint pain. Many people find their joint pain significantly reduced after a series of PRP injections.

- No surgery required
