Over time, the tendons around the elbow can continuously be injured, leading to chronic or ongoing pain. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Therapy can reduce the occurrence of scar tissue and reduce pain and inflammation.

The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Procedure

We begin every PRP Therapy procedure by drawing a sample of your blood — similar to the amount you may provide for a basic lab test. Your blood is then placed into a centrifuge and spun rapidly to separate your platelets from other components of your blood. Finally, this platelet-rich plasma is activated, to release at least eight essential growth factors and signaling proteins. This is then injected into the site of your pain or injury.

The PRP therapy is a regenerative technology using your own biochemistry. The activated growth factors in your platelet-rich plasma repair and strengthen damaged and aging tissues where they reside. Since platelet-rich plasma is formulated using your own blood, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or side effects. Nevertheless, before having a PRP Treatment, you should disclose all medications you are currently taking (including herbs) with us.

There is little or no downtime following a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy procedure.
