About This Treatment
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.
