Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative, natural treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing and reduce pain. Blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets, which are rich in growth factors essential for tissue repair. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the affected area, stimulating the body’s regenerative abilities.

Why is PRP important?

Chronic foot and leg pain from conditions like tendon injuries, arthritis, and sports-related injuries can severely limit mobility and quality of life. PRP accelerates healing by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, offering patients a minimally invasive option with fewer side effects than surgery or long-term medication use. Approximately 85% of patients report symptom improvement after PRP treatment.

The risks of not getting PRP (when appropriate) include prolonged pain, slower healing, and increased likelihood of chronic injury or surgery. Ignoring persistent symptoms may lead to worsening conditions and decreased function.

Benefits of PRP include natural healing, minimal downtime, reduced need for medications, and potentially avoiding surgery. Since the therapy uses your own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is very low.
