PRP for joint pain

Injections made from your own blood to support tissue repair in painful joints.

How it can help

Joint pain can quietly shrink your life, from the walks you skip to the stairs you avoid. Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood.

Platelets carry growth factors involved in the body’s natural repair process. Placing them where you need support is intended to help tissue repair and ease symptoms. Results vary from person to person, and your doctor will tell you honestly what to expect.
