This non-surgical procedure helps relieve pain and promote healing by using your body’s own blood. PRP involves concentrating platelets — which contain growth factors — and injecting them into injured or degenerated tissues. This boosts the body’s natural repair process and can accelerate recovery in areas with limited blood flow, such as tendons, ligaments, and joints.
PRP treatments involve drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP solution directly into the affected area. This triggers a localized healing response that supports tissue repair and reduces inflammation.
Most patients undergo a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the condition being treated and individual response. Results typically build gradually, with many patients experiencing improved function and reduced pain over time.
We are currently performing PRP in our Seattle office. Schedule a consultation with one of our board certified physiatrists to discuss what treatment options are recommended for your condition.
