Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Orthobiologics uses the body’s own resources to initiate healing. In the Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy process, the patient’s blood is drawn and separated to concentrate the healing components that already exist in the patient’s own body. Those concentrated healing components are then injected directly into the injured tendon or muscle. Platelet- Rich Plasma Therapy has been used for decades to speed up healing and help people return to their activities more quickly. It is a safe and effective treatment for joint and muscle injuries and Dr. Wainer has been performing this therapy for over a decade.**
• Less side effects compared to steroid injections or surgery • Completely natural and organic • Healing continues several months after injection • Promotes accelerated healing • Minimal or no down time • Minimally invasive in-office procedure

ADVANTAGES OF PRP THERAPY

Not EVERY patient is a good candidate for Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, but people who have exhausted other treatments, including steroid injections, may decide on PRP Therapy as an alternative treatment to resolve their pain without surgery.

Six graphics that illustrate the steps involved with PRP Therapy. Image 1 shows blood being drawn from the arm. Image two breaks the blood down to plasma, platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. Image three shows a centrifuge and the plasma and
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
The blood already contains the necessary component.
A centrifuge separates the blood components.

The PRP kick-starts the healing process
The illustration above shows the steps involved in the Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy procedure. This regenerative procedure speeds up the healing process in most patients, and many patients continue to see improvement up to three months after the injection. Without the worry about side effects from medication or the recovery time from surgery, patients who receive PRP therapy often experience a reduction in joint or muscle discomfort and a gradual return to their daily activites.
