Platelet Rich Plasma

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as a revolutionary natural treatment to improve overall health and revitalization. This innovative procedure harnesses the healing power of your own blood to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. During a typical PRP session, a small sample of blood is drawn and then processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins. These essential components encourage cell repair and rejuvenation while reducing inflammation. PRP is minimally invasive and offers a safe alternative to traditional treatments, providing benefits that range from enhanced skin texture to accelerated recovery from injuries. Many individuals seeking holistic wellness have turned to this therapy for its ability to naturally stimulate healing without synthetic additives. At our clinic, we adopt a comprehensive approach to PRP therapy, carefully designing each treatment plan to suit individual needs and medical histories. This tailored approach maximizes benefits and ensures that the procedure aligns with your overall wellness goals. Ongoing research and clinical advancements further substantiate PRP’s role in regenerative medicine, making it an attractive option for those with chronic conditions.

How Platelet Rich Plasma Enhances Your Health

PRP therapy works by utilizing your body’s own healing mechanisms. In the initial phase, a patient’s blood is processed to increase the concentration of platelets before being reintroduced into targeted areas. This concentrated solution releases growth factors that activate cellular repair and collagen production. The result is a stimulation of natural tissue regeneration, which can reduce signs of aging and enhance physical recovery.

Beyond cosmetic enhancements, PRP therapy is increasingly applied to manage musculoskeletal conditions. It helps reduce joint pain and accelerates recovery from sports-related injuries by minimizing inflammation and enhancing the body’s natural repair processes. With scientific studies underscoring its benefits, PRP offers both aesthetic and functional improvements, establishing a holistic avenue for promoting long-term health.

I am being cared for by the chiropractic team at Summit Health. They are a group of attentive and helpful people. I go for spinal decompression but the care is far more encompassing.

Our Distinct Approach to PRP

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you may have many questions about PRP therapy. Here are some frequently asked questions designed to provide clarity on the procedure, its benefits, and what to expect during your treatment journey. Our aim is to empower you with the information necessary to make confident decisions about your health.

What is PRP therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing. After drawing a small amount of blood, the platelets are separated and concentrated, then re-injected into the injured area. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

PRP targets the inflammation in the plantar fascia by flooding the damaged area with concentrated healing proteins. This boosts the body’s natural ability to repair tissue and can relieve pain and stiffness. Over time, this approach supports long-term recovery without surgery or medication.

PRP contains 5 to 10 times more platelets than normal blood, delivering a potent dose of growth factors directly to the injured tissue. It is minimally invasive, safe, and promotes faster, natural healing. Many patients find it effective for pain relief and improved mobility.

PRP therapy is used for chronic tendon injuries, ligament tears, arthritis, and post-surgical healing. It’s effective in treating joint pain in the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and more. Common conditions include tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff injuries, and meniscal tears.

Your blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, and injected into the painful area with a local anesthetic. The procedure is quick and typically well-tolerated, with minimal downtime. Some post-injection soreness is normal and should subside within a few days.

Most patients need between 2 to 4 sessions depending on the severity of the injury and their body’s healing response. Results are gradual, as PRP stimulates the body’s repair mechanisms. Your provider will monitor progress and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Many patients begin to notice improvement within 1–2 weeks, but full benefits may take several weeks as tissue heals. Since PRP works with your body’s natural processes, results build steadily over time. Patience and adherence to follow-up care are key to success.

If you’ve tried conservative treatments for plantar fasciitis without success, PRP may offer a non-surgical solution. Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with localized soft tissue injuries. A consultation at Summit Health Group will help determine if PRP is a good fit for your condition.
