Platelet-rich plasma uses your own blood — concentrated and precisely placed — to trigger real repair in injured tendons, ligaments and joints.
Your platelets do more than clot blood; they carry the growth factors your body uses to heal. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains a far higher concentration of platelets than whole blood — plasma rich in the growth factors and cytokines essential for repair. A small sample is drawn, then spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
Once injected into the area of injury or degeneration, the platelets’ alpha granules release growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β and VEGF — crucial for healing, forming new blood vessels and synthesizing collagen. It’s an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime and fewer complications than surgery, placed exactly where the injury is, with nothing foreign introduced into your body.
Precision-dosed
We measure and target dose — because the right platelet concentration, placed precisely, is what drives a durable result.
How it works
From evaluation to recovery, here’s the path.
Step 1
We confirm PRP is the right tool for your specific injury using exam and diagnostic ultrasound.
Step 2
A small sample is drawn and spun down to concentrate your platelets — all in the same visit.
Step 3
The PRP is delivered precisely into the injured tissue under ultrasound, with local anesthetic for comfort.
Step 4
A structured rehab plan and follow-up support the repair over the weeks that follow.
Conditions PRP commonly helps
Not sure if you’re a candidate? A short evaluation gives you a clear, honest answer.
We use local anesthetic and ultrasound guidance, so most patients tolerate the procedure well. Mild soreness for a day or two afterward is normal and a sign the healing response has started.
Many conditions respond to a single treatment; some benefit from a short series. We’ll give you a realistic plan after your evaluation.

PRP is generally not covered. We provide clear, upfront pricing and the documentation needed for any reimbursement you may pursue.
