PRP Joint Injection

PRP Joint Injection is a natural treatment that uses your own blood to help heal joints and reduce pain. It is also known as platelet-rich plasma therapy for joints. The treatment takes the healing parts of your blood and places them directly into the sore or damaged joint to support repair and improve how the joint feels and moves.

How It Works

A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm. The blood is then placed in a special machine that spins it to separate the platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. This PRP is full of growth factors that your body naturally uses to heal itself. Your provider carefully injects the PRP into the targeted joint. The growth factors help reduce swelling, repair damaged tissue, and encourage new healthy cells to grow.

What It Helps With

• Joint pain from arthritis

• Pain in the knee, shoulder, hip, or elbow

• Discomfort after an injury or overuse

• Stiffness or limited movement in a joint

• Mild to moderate joint damage

• Overall improvement in daily comfort and activity level

The Treatment Procedure

1. Blood Draw — A small sample of blood is taken from your arm.

2. PRP Preparation — The blood is processed in the office to create the concentrated PRP.

3. Joint Injection — The area is numbed for comfort, and the PRP is gently injected into the joint using a fine needle.

What to Expect During and After

• During the treatment - You may feel mild pressure or a brief pinch, but numbing keeps it comfortable.

• Right after - The joint may feel a little full or sore for a short time.

• First few days - Mild soreness is normal as the PRP begins to work.

• Long term - Many people notice gradual improvement in pain and movement over the following weeks as the joint heals.
