A non-surgical solution to regenerate tissues and restore joint health
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a simple yet powerful treatment that uses the platelets and growth factors in your own blood to promote tissue regeneration. The process begins with a small blood draw. The blood is then spun down and exposed to photobiomodulation, creating a potent serum that is rich in healing properties. This “super serum” is injected directly into the damaged or inflamed area, encouraging natural healing and tissue repair. PRP can be especially effective for injuries in the knees, hips, shoulders, and other joints.
Why we love it
Our goal is to help you stay strong and healthy without the need for invasive surgery. While traditional orthopedic procedures have their place, we believe many injuries can be relieved using the body’s natural healing processes. PRP and other regenerative orthopedic procedures involve minimal risk, no general anesthesia, and far less downtime than surgery. With PRP, your body continues to heal and improve for weeks and months after treatment, making it an ideal solution for those looking to regain mobility and reduce pain.
PRP works by injecting concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood into the injured area, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. These growth factors help to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.
PRP is designed to help your body heal naturally, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for surgery. In many cases, PRP can help patients avoid more invasive procedures altogether.
PRP typically requires minimal downtime. You may experience some mild soreness at the injection site, but most patients can return to daily activities the following day. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours after treatment.
No, however, while there are no contraindications to regenerative cell orthopedic procedures, not everyone is a candidate based on their condition. We encourage anyone who is interested to give our office a call and speak with a qualified member of our team and set up a consultation with Dr. Purita.
Discomfort is usually minimal. The blood draw feels like a standard lab test, and injections may cause mild discomfort depending on the treatment area. Numbing creams or local anesthesia are often used to enhance comfort.
Stay hydrated.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen or aspirin) for 7–10 days prior, as they can interfere with platelet function.
Discuss any medications or conditions with your provider beforehand.
