Are you struggling with joint pain, a lingering sports injury, or a chronic condition that just won’t go away? At APX Health, we believe you shouldn’t have to live with discomfort. That’s why we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy — a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that harnesses your body’s own healing powers to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. By taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge, we separate the platelets from the red and white blood cells. These platelets contain growth factors — proteins that play a crucial role in healing injuries. When injected into an injured area, the concentrated platelets can accelerate tissue repair, decrease inflammation, and promote healing.
How Does PRP Work?
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Injection: Using ultrasound guidance for precision, your PRP is injected directly into the site of injury or pain.
Once injected, the platelets release growth factors that stimulate and enhance the body’s natural healing response — repairing damaged tissues, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving function and mobility.
What Conditions Can PRP Treat?
- Tendon injuries: Tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis
- Ligament injuries: Partial tears of the MCL and other ligaments
- Muscle strains and tears
- Joint pain: Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder
- Overuse injuries: Plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff injuries
Why Choose PRP?
- Natural Healing: Uses your body’s own growth factors — no risk of allergic reactions.
- Minimally Invasive: Performed in-office with no surgery required.
- Reduced Downtime: Return to daily activities much quicker than surgery.
- Long-Lasting Results: Many patients experience significant pain relief lasting months or even years.
