PRP joint injections use platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood to support the body's natural healing process in joints affected by pain, inflammation, or early degeneration. This treatment offers a non-surgical option for those looking to reduce joint pain and support long-term joint health without relying solely on medication or invasive procedures.
A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors that support tissue repair. This concentrated PRP is then injected directly into the affected joint, where it works to reduce inflammation, support tissue regeneration, and promote the body's natural healing response over time.
Here is what to expect from start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.
