Joints Injections with PRP

​

PRP Joint Injections are primarily used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, chronic tendonitis, and ligament sprains. The concentrated growth factors reduce inflammation and stimulate the growth of new cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

 

The Mechanism: The growth factors in PRP bind to receptors on local cells (like chondrocytes and tenocytes), triggering a cascade of signaling events that promote tissue proliferation and remodeling. It also helps to normalize the joint environment by reducing catabolic (breakdown) factors.

 

The Benefit: Pain reduction, improved joint function and mobility, and a non-surgical approach to potentially slow the progression of degenerative joint disease.

Soft Tissue Injections with PRP

 

Soft Tissue Injections target specific acute and chronic injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, plantar fasciitis, and golfer's or tennis elbow. Unlike cortisone, which provides temporary pain relief by masking inflammation, PRP promotes actual tissue healing.

 

The Mechanism: The injection delivers a high concentration of growth factors directly to the damaged tendon or ligament, initiating a localized inflammatory response followed by the natural repair and strengthening of the connective tissue.

 

The Benefit: Accelerated healing of soft tissue injuries that have been resistant to traditional therapies, leading to long-term pain resolution.
