PRP Injections
The Benefits of PRP Injections for Joint and Spine Pain
At our orthopedic practice, we understand how frustrating joint and spine pain can be. For many patients, medications and physical therapy only provide temporary relief, while surgery can feel like too big of a step. That’s why we’re proud to offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in Florida, a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to help reduce pain and restore function.
What Are PRP Injections?
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that promote healing and tissue repair. When injected into an injured or painful area, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for pain relief may stimulate your body’s natural healing process.
Benefits of PRP for Joints and Spine:
- Natural Healing: Uses your own blood, with no foreign substances.
- Minimally Invasive: Simple injection procedure with little to no downtime.
- Pain Relief: Helps reduce inflammation and discomfort in joints and spine.
- Supports Recovery: May speed up healing in tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
- Delays or Avoids Surgery: Can be an option for patients not ready for surgical intervention.
Conditions PRP May Help With:
- Arthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder
- Tendon injuries (tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, Achilles issues)
- PRP therapy for spine conditions such as degenerative discs or facet joint arthritis
- Sports injuries and overuse conditions
Is PRP Right for You?
While PRP treatment for joint pain and arthritis is not a cure-all, many patients experience meaningful improvement in pain and mobility. Our orthopedic specialists will carefully evaluate your condition and recommend whether PRP may be a good fit for your treatment plan.
