PRP Treatment

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP Therapy involves using your body’s own platelets—cells in the blood that are essential for healing and tissue regeneration. By concentrating these platelets and injecting them directly into the affected area, PRP stimulates tissue repair, promotes collagen production, and accelerates the healing process. This treatment is especially effective for injuries and conditions that involve damaged tendons, ligaments, and joints.

Conditions Treated with PRP Therapy

PRP Therapy is beneficial for a variety of podiatric conditions, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Reduce pain and inflammation in the bottom of your foot caused by plantar fasciitis.
• Achilles Tendonitis: Help promote healing of the Achilles tendon, speeding recovery and reducing pain.
• Arthritis: Alleviate joint pain and inflammation caused by arthritis in the feet or ankles.
• Tendon and Ligament Injuries: Accelerate recovery from tendon and ligament sprains, tears, and strains.
• Chronic Foot and Ankle Pain: Treat persistent pain from injuries that have not responded to traditional treatments.
• Sports Injuries: Improve recovery time for athletic injuries, from sprains to strains and soft tissue damage.

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

• Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a standard blood test.
• Platelet Concentration: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other blood components, concentrating them to a higher level.
• Injection: The concentrated platelets are injected directly into the site of injury or pain, where they work to stimulate healing by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

• Natural Healing: Since PRP uses your body’s own cells, there’s minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
• Minimally Invasive: Unlike surgery, PRP therapy is a simple injection with no need for incisions or long recovery times.
• Effective Pain Relief: Helps reduce inflammation and pain in the treated area, allowing you to regain function and mobility faster.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a short period after treatment.
• Long-Term Results: Many patients experience long-lasting relief and improved function after a series of PRP treatments.

What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment

PRP therapy is an outpatient procedure that typically takes about 30-60 minutes. The process is relatively simple:

• We begin by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm.
• The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets.
• The prepared PRP is injected into the treatment area using a fine needle.
• You may experience mild soreness or swelling for a few days, but the majority of patients return to normal activities after a short recovery period.
