WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing. A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—cells that contain powerful growth factors essential for tissue repair.

How PRP promotes healing:

Platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue repair
Concentrated healing factors are delivered directly to the injured area
PRP promotes new blood vessel formation for improved circulation
The treatment recruits your body's stem cells to the injury site
Reduces inflammation while promoting actual tissue healing

PRP AND CORTISONE: HOW THEY DIFFER

Many patients come to us after cortisone injections that provided only temporary relief. Cortisone is used to reduce inflammation. PRP is a different approach that uses a concentrated preparation of your own platelets.

Conditions PRP is used for:

Chronic plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendonitis
Ankle sprains with ligament damage
Arthritis in foot and ankle joints
Chronic tendon injuries
Non-healing wounds

THE PRP PROCESS

Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm (similar to a standard blood test)
Processing: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets (about 15 minutes)
Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected directly into the injured area
Total Time: The entire process takes about 45-60 minutes
Recovery: Most patients return to work the same day or next day
Follow-up: Regular monitoring to track your progress
