Joint Repair with PRP

Initiate and accelerate the healing process in your joints and tissue

The Power of Platelets

Platelets in your blood stream are the body’s first step in the healing and regeneration process that follows injury.  

Platelet Rich Plasma is a regenerative product made from your own blood.  It is a highly concentrated dose of your own platelets created by centrifuging your own blood according to specific protocols.  These platelets are then injected into the place of injury, signaling to the body to accelerate healing in that tissue.  Platelets have been shown to contain hundreds of growth factors and cytokines which initiate and accelerate the healing process.  Among them are:

At Prestige Regenerative Medicine, we use the latest research and laboratory grade techniques to create optimal PRP from your blood.  PRP has a 4-7x higher concentration of platelets than your blood stream. We treat it with an advanced photobiomodulation device using specific frequencies of light to increase the concentration of specific growth factors, and depending on the application we may “activate” the PRP prior to injecting it.

What is it good for?

Safe and effective

PRP can be used for many purposes to initiate and accelerate the healing processes in your tissue.  At Prestige Regenerative Medicine we use PRP in many ways including:

Things To Know

Because PRP depends on the healing power of your platelets, those with lower platelet counts will not have as pronounced an effect.  This generally isn’t an issue unless you have extremely low platelet counts (a condition known as Thrombocytopenia).  

 

 

Because PRP is made from your own blood, we cannot (and will not!) give your PRP to someone else (or someone else’s to you).  Thus, there is no risk of acquiring an infectious disease from PRP therapy.

The class of drugs called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) which includes ibuprofen, aspirin, Naprosyn, indomethacin, meloxicam, piroxicam, etc. can interfered with the healing process initiated by PRP so those drugs should be avoided for 1 week to your PRP therapy and 2-3 weeks after. 

Finally, PRP is not a pain-killer. The healing effect that PRP induces takes time much like your body takes time to heal.  Depending on your age and general state of health the healing process may take as long as 6-10 weeks for complete healing.

PRP is not a pain-killer.  Most of the time, PRP injections do not create immediate pain relief (although some of our patients report relief, particularly for very inflamed areas or “dry” joints, the next day).  The healing effect that PRP induces takes time, much like your body takes time to heal.  Depending on your age and general state of health, the healing process may take as long as 6-10 weeks for complete healing.
