What Conditions Can Platelet-Rich Plasma Treat?
PRP injections can help heal injuries and degenerative conditions at the source.
At our medical clinic, we use platelet-rich plasma therapy to help treat pain caused by a wide range of different conditions and issues that include:
- Arthritis
- Torn ligaments
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Golfers elbow
- Tennis elbow
- Sciatica
- Degenerative joint disease
- Osteoporosis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Torn labrum

- And more
Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps to encourage the body’s natural healing mechanism, and the procedure itself is minimally invasive, requiring little to no downtime.
The fact that PRP is created from a sample of your own blood means there’s virtually no chance of rejection and no risk of side effects.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
PRP therapy is a relatively simple procedure where we draw a small sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge.
The red blood cells and platelets separate as the blood sample spins, creating highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
PRP is rich in healing properties, which is why it is such an effective treatment for many different injuries and conditions. Once the PRP is ready, we inject it into your painful or damaged area to help facilitate the healing process.
We use PRP as a safe and effective alternative to more invasive surgical procedures or potentially risky pain medication. This treatment addresses the underlying cause of your pain. It doesn’t just cover up the symptom like pain medication.
It’s important to remember that the pain you feel is just a by-product of the damage beneath the surface. By resolving the issue at the source, we can help you experience the long-term pain relief you need.
