Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Injections

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections use a concentration of your own blood platelets to promote healing in damaged tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.

PRP is commonly used for tendonitis, muscle strains, ligament injuries, mild arthritis, and sports injuries such as tennis elbow or jumper’s knee.

No, PRP is a non-surgical, in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia or with image guidance when necessary.

Some patients begin noticing improvement within a few weeks, while full benefits may take several months as the healing process progresses.

Most patients tolerate PRP well. You may experience mild discomfort or soreness at the injection site for a day or two following the procedure.

Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low. Infection and bleeding are rare but possible.

Currently, most insurance providers consider PRP experimental or investigational, and it is usually not covered. We can provide self-pay pricing and discuss payment options with you.
