Advantages of PRP Therapy for Joint Pain,
Tendon and Ligament Injuries

• Safe – We are often asked are PRP injections safe? Platelets are taken from a patient’s own blood, so there is very little risk of an adverse rejection reaction or disease transmission.

• Quick Healing Time – PRP Therapy takes place during a one hour in-office procedure. This allows patients to resume daily activities with a quick healing time. However, patients will often need to refrain from sports or exercise for several weeks or up to one month.

• Avoid Invasive Surgery – Stem cell therapy combined with PRP injections often can allow patients to avoid joint surgery and lessen the need for pain medication.

• All-Natural – Using a patient’s own platelets allows the body to heal naturally.

• Cost Effective – PRP injections are a quick, cost effective, outpatient procedure that allows patients to avoid expensive hospital and facility costs associated with surgery.
