Non-surgical treatment using your body’s natural healing power
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing in joints, tendons, and ligaments. It’s a safe, effective option for those looking to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support long-term joint function without surgery or steroid injections.
What is PRP for joints & what can it treat?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a natural, non-surgical treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to help heal damaged or inflamed joints. After drawing a small blood sample, we process it to extract platelet-rich plasma and inject it into the affected area. This regenerative approach reduces inflammation, supports tissue repair, and slows joint degeneration. PRP is a great option for long-term relief without the side effects of steroids or downtime from surgery. PRP can be used to treat:
Osteoarthritis (knee, shoulder, hip, etc.)
Joint inflammation due to overuse or wear-and-tear
Ligament or tendon injuries (e.g. rotator cuff, tennis elbow)
Cartilage degeneration
Post-injury inflammation or swelling
Chronic joint pain & stiffness
Soft tissue injuries & sports-related strains
Why get PRP joint therapy?
Your PRP joint treatment is a simple, in-clinic procedure that typically takes less than an hour. We start by drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. Using ultrasound guidance, the PRP is carefully injected into the targeted joint or tissue. Most clients experience little downtime, with mild soreness or stiffness that fades within a few days. Over the following weeks, healing continues as inflammation decreases and tissue repair begins.
Reduces inflammation & pain
PRP delivers growth factors directly to the joint, helping reduce inflammation and ease pain from arthritis, tendonitis, and similar conditions.
Promotes natural healing
PRP activates the body’s repair process, supporting regeneration of soft tissue, cartilage, and joint structures.
Delays or avoids surgery
PRP helps manage joint symptoms early and may reduce the need for surgery or more invasive treatments.
Minimally invasive with little downtime
Treatment involves a quick injection using your own blood, with no incisions and little recovery time.
What to expect during your PRP joint therapy
PRP joint treatment is a straightforward, in-clinic procedure that takes under an hour. We draw a small blood sample, process it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and inject it into the affected joint using ultrasound guidance. Most clients have minimal downtime, with mild soreness that fades in a few days. Healing continues over the next several weeks as inflammation decreases and tissues begin to repair.

FAQ on PRP joint therapy
Answers to common questions about PRP joint therapy, how it works, and what you can expect.
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve joint function. It promotes healing rather than just masking symptoms.
PRP is commonly used for osteoarthritis (especially in the knees, hips, and shoulders), tendonitis, ligament injuries, and chronic joint pain.
The entire visit typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, including the blood draw, PRP processing, and injection.
Most people experience only mild discomfort during the injection. Some soreness afterward is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
Improvements may begin within a few weeks, with the best results appearing after 4 to 8 weeks as the body continues to heal.
