What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. PRP is an excellent non-surgical alternative for patients dealing with chronic knee pain, shoulder pain, and joint injuries who want to avoid surgery and lengthy recovery times.

At Regenerative Joint Clinics in Riverdale, GA, we offer PRP therapy as part of our advanced regenerative medicine program. Whether you’re struggling with arthritis, a torn ligament, or tendon injuries, PRP may support healing and help you get back to a more active lifestyle.

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

PRP therapy harnesses the power of your own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and natural healing. Here’s how it works:

Blood Draw

A small sample of your blood is drawn.

Centrifuge Processing

Your blood is spun in a centrifuge, separating the platelets from other blood components

PRP Injection

The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into the injured or arthritic joint using precision fluoroscopic guidance to ensure optimal placement.

The growth factors and proteins in PRP stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing in the affected area.

What Conditions Can PRP Treat?

PRP therapy may help with joint and soft tissue injuries, making it an option to consider for:

Knee Pain Conditions

Osteoarthritis – PRP may help reduce inflammation and support joint comfort.
Meniscus Tears – May support the healing environment in mild to moderate meniscus injuries; evidence is limited.
Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee) – Reduces inflammation and promotes tendon repair.
