At Montville MedSpa & Pain Center, we understand how debilitating joint pain can be. We also know how important it is to find safe, effective, non-surgical pain management solutions.
That’s why we’re proud to offer PRP injections – an innovative treatment that can dramatically reduce joint pain and improve mobility.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It uses injections of your own platelets to accelerate healing and ease joint pain. A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.
These platelets contain growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration. The PRP is then injected into the injured joints.
How PRP Joint Injections Work
- Stimulate natural healing response
- Reduce inflammation
- Promote new cartilage growth
- Improve joint lubrication
- Accelerate tissue repair
How effective are PRP joint injections?
PRP joint injections display promising effectiveness, especially for conditions like elbow pain. In a 24-week study, PRP outperformed the control group, improving pain scores by 71.5% versus 56.1% at 12 weeks.
Additionally, 83.9% of PRP-treated patients achieved success compared to 68.3% in the control group.
