Chronic joint pain and inflammation can take a serious toll on your mobility, comfort, and quality of life. Whether it’s from arthritis, injury, or overuse, living with joint pain can hold you back from doing the things you love. At TruWellness, our PRP Therapy offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to help your body heal naturally and relieve pain at the source.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP Therapy, short for Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own blood to support healing (and can also improve the skin). The treatment involves isolating a concentrated dose of platelets from your blood—platelets that are rich in growth factors known to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve overall joint health.
PRP is especially effective for:
- Osteoarthritis in knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows
- Sports injuries involving ligaments, tendons, or cartilage
- Chronic inflammation or joint degeneration
- Tendinitis and bursitis
How Does It Work?
PRP Therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing process by delivering a high concentration of healing platelets directly into the damaged joint or tissue. Here’s how it works:
- Blood Draw – A small amount of your blood is drawn in-office.
- Centrifuge Processing – The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
- Injection – The platelet-rich plasma is injected into the targeted joint or tissue.
These growth factors:
- Stimulate tissue regeneration
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve joint function
What Can I Expect During Treatments?
Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and performed right in our clinic. Here’s what the typical PRP Therapy appointment looks like:
- Preparation: We’ll review your medical history and assess the joint or area needing treatment.
- Blood Collection & Processing: The entire PRP preparation process takes about 15–30 minutes.
- Injection: The PRP is carefully injected into the joint using precise ultrasound guidance.
- Post-Treatment: Most patients return to normal activity the same or next day, although we may recommend avoiding intense activity for a few days.
There’s little to no downtime, and side effects are minimal since the PRP is derived from your own body.
What Can I Expect from the Results of PRP Therapy?
PRP Therapy results develop gradually as your body regenerates tissue and reduces inflammation. Many patients experience:
- Noticeable reduction in joint pain and stiffness
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Decreased reliance on medications like NSAIDs or steroids
- Faster recovery from injuries
- Long-term joint health and protection
For best results, a series of PRP injections may be recommended, depending on the severity of your condition.
