Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, uses a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to support healing in selected musculoskeletal conditions.

Common conditions treated

• Tendon injuries
• Ligament sprains
• Mild to moderate joint degeneration
• Selected shoulder, knee, hip, and soft tissue pain conditions

Potential benefits

• Uses the patient’s own blood product
• May support tissue repair in selected conditions
• Non-surgical regenerative option
• Can be combined with rehabilitation planning

PRP is not right for every pain condition. A careful evaluation helps determine whether regenerative treatment is appropriate.
