Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that uses a patient’s own blood platelets to promote healing in injured tissues. Using PRP, concentrated platelets rich in growth factors are injected directly into the painful area, such as the foot, ankle, or knee, to stimulate natural repair and reduce inflammation, leading to faster recovery and improved function.

PRP can be highly beneficial for active individuals dealing with lingering foot or knee pain from sports injuries, as well as those who want to return to activity after being sidelined by discomfort. Studies show that PRP therapy provides substantial pain relief and speeds up healing for common conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee osteoarthritis. In fact, many patients experience improved mobility and function within a few weeks, with benefits often lasting for months.

Without PRP, injuries may take longer to heal or remain chronic, risking further joint damage and preventing a return to sports or daily activities. Delaying treatment may lead to increased stiffness, loss of fitness, and a reduced quality of life.

Choosing PRP therapy means embracing a safe, natural healing approach with minimal downtime and a low risk of complications since your own blood is used.
