Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Regenerating Tissue, Restoring Mobility, and Relieving Pain

What is platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that can help relieve musculoskeletal pain and speed up recovery from injuries. At Restorative Edge Clinic, we’ve been providing PRP injections for years, and it’s become one of our most effective solutions for treating a variety of conditions.

PRP therapy uses a concentrated form of platelets from your own blood—these platelets are rich in growth factors that trigger your body’s natural healing process. This helps repair tissue and regenerate healthy cells. Whether you’re dealing with joint pain, tendon issues, ligament injuries, or other musculoskeletal problems, PRP can help reduce pain, improve movement, and promote long-term healing.

How PRP Works

Joint Pain
PRP therapy is especially helpful for joint pain, particularly in cases like osteoarthritis. When injected directly into a joint, PRP works to:

  • Stimulate the production of new cartilage cells for better joint health

  • Reduce inflammation, helping to alleviate pain and improve mobility

  • Enhance joint lubrication, which minimizes friction and improves function

Tendon, Ligament, and Musculoskeletal Pain
For tendon issues (like tendonitis, tendinopathy, or tears), ligament injuries (such as sprains or tears, or Plantar Fasciitis), and other musculoskeletal pain, PRP helps by:

  • Boosting healing with increased collagen production

  • Reducing pain by targeting inflammation in the affected area

  • Strengthening tissue to enhance stability and prevent re-injury

PRP Preparation Process

Blood Collection: We start by drawing a small sample of your blood, usually from your arm.

Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speed to separate its components.

Concentration: This process concentrates the platelets, which are packed with growth factors, resulting in a solution that has about 8 times the platelet concentration of regular blood.

Injection: The concentrated PRP solution is then precisely injected into the treatment area using advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound or fluoroscopy to ensure accuracy.

Since we use your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is minimal, making PRP a safe and effective treatment.

How Effective Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP therapy has shown promising results for many patients, especially in treating a variety of lower extremity conditions. While its effectiveness can depend on factors such as the condition being treated, its severity, and your overall health, PRP has been particularly successful in addressing:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Achilles Tendonitis

  • Ankle Sprains and Tears

  • Arthritis (Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis)

  • Tendon and Ligament Injuries

  • Shin Splints

  • Stress Fractures

  • Bursitis

  • Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

By leveraging your body’s natural healing abilities, PRP therapy is often highly effective in reducing pain, improving mobility, and accelerating recovery. Since PRP uses your own blood to promote healing, it is generally considered safe with minimal risk of allergic reactions or infections.

However, like any medical treatment, there are some potential risks, such as infection, pain at the injection site, or in rare cases, no significant improvement in symptoms. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how PRP therapy can best address your specific condition.
