PRP treatment is a groundbreaking regenerative therapy that draws on the human body’s own natural processes to promote healing, improve tissue function, and resolve pain. Involving the injection of plasma with a high concentration of platelets (cell fragments found in the blood) directly into one or more targeted treatment areas, it can be an effective treatment option for addressing chronic pain stemming from a wide variety of different causes.

What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative, minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting enhanced blood plasma into one or more targeted treatment areas. A blood sample drawn directly from a patient is placed into a centrifuge and separated into layers, one of which is composed of platelets (cell fragments) and plasma (the liquid component of blood). This concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected back into the patient to trigger and speed healing processes in damaged tissues. The therapy can be used to address musculoskeletal injuries as well as a wide range of chronic pain conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, nerve pain, and more.

PRP treatment harnesses the body’s own healing processes in new and breakthrough ways. Platelets are tiny cell fragments that play a vital role in the repair of damaged tissues and the rebuilding of new ones. When they are delivered via targeted injections to injured or painful regions, they release hundreds of growth factors that speed recovery times and can contribute greatly to the resolution of certain chronic pain issues. PRP injections contain 5 to 10 times more platelets than regular blood and support cells in reproducing and differentiating to build and strengthen various body tissue types.

At Resolve Pain and Spine, our experienced pain management specialists may recommend PRP treatment on its own or in combination with other complementary therapies as part of a broader treatment approach. To learn more about PRP injections, contact Resolve directly to book an appointment.

What To Expect

At Resolve Pain and Spine, the safety and well-being of our patients is our top priority. When you arrive for platelet-rich plasma therapy treatment, you can rely on a professional experience that will be comfortable and straightforward from start to finish. This is what to expect:

Before your first PRP treatment, your Resolve doctor will give you clear preparatory instructions. Among other things, you may need to pause certain medications, such as blood thinners.
A blood sample will be drawn from your arm. The exact amount of blood taken will depend on the location and nature of the treatment area.
The blood will be placed in a centrifuge for 10-15 minutes to separate out the platelets and plasma.
Platelet-rich plasma will be carefully injected into one or more targeted treatment areas.
The entire treatment process should take less than one hour (sometimes much less).

For some patients, a single PRP injection may be sufficient, while for others multiple rounds of PRP treatment may be recommended. Your experienced pain management specialist will suggest the best course of action based on your individual situation.
