Plasma PRP Injections for Natural Healing and Pain Relief

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections are an advanced, non-surgical treatment used to accelerate healing and reduce pain in a wide range of orthopedic and podiatric conditions. By using the body’s own regenerative capabilities, PRP therapy stimulates repair of damaged tissue—without the risks of steroids or invasive surgery.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is derived from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is spun in a high-speed centrifuge, separating and concentrating the platelets, which are rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This concentrated plasma—containing three to five times the level of growth factors found in normal blood—is then injected directly into or around the area of injury, often under ultrasound guidance for precision.

How Does PRP Work?

Platelets play a crucial role in the body’s healing response. When injected into injured or inflamed tissue, PRP stimulates cell regeneration, improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps rebuild damaged collagen and connective tissues.

In many cases, PRP therapy can reduce or eliminate the need for steroid injections or surgery by promoting the body’s natural healing response.

Conditions Treated with PRP Injections

PRP injections are effective in treating both acute injuries and chronic degenerative conditions, especially in the foot and ankle. Common use cases include:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis or partial tears
• Ankle ligament injuries such as sprains or strains
• Arthritis of the foot, ankle, or toe joints
• Tendon and ligament damage that hasn’t responded to other therapies
• Cartilage injuries or degeneration
• Bone healing support in stress fractures or post-surgical recovery

PRP is particularly effective for patients who want to avoid surgery or are not candidates for steroid injections due to medical conditions or side effects.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

• Natural and autologous: Made from your own blood, with no risk of rejection or allergic reaction
• Minimally invasive: No surgical incisions or hospital stay
• Promotes long-term healing: Addresses the root cause of pain by regenerating tissue
• Fewer side effects: Unlike corticosteroids, PRP doesn’t weaken or damage surrounding tissue
• Performed in-office: Quick procedure with minimal downtime

What to Expect During the Procedure

The PRP injection process is simple and typically takes less than an hour:

• A small sample of your blood is drawn—similar to a routine blood test
• The blood is placed in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets
• The resulting PRP solution is injected into the injured area
• In many cases, the injection is done under **ultrasound guidance** to ensure accuracy

Some mild soreness may be experienced at the injection site, but most patients return to normal activity shortly afterward. The healing process begins immediately, with noticeable improvement often seen within a few weeks.

Is PRP Right for You?

Good candidates for PRP therapy include:

• Patients with chronic tendonitis or plantar fasciitis that hasn’t responded to conservative care
• Individuals seeking a non-steroidal, non-surgical solution for joint pain
• Athletes recovering from sports-related foot or ankle injuries
• People with early to moderate arthritis looking to delay or avoid surgery

Our physicians will assess your condition and determine if PRP therapy is an appropriate option for your treatment plan.
