Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Q & A

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

The team at Florida Medical Pain Management can treat your pain with Platelet-Rich Plasma, a procedure that uses your own blood to promote healing in your body.

Your doctor draws a small sample of your blood, which contains platelets that are responsible for promoting cell growth. Your blood is then processed in a machine called a centrifuge to extract the PRP. The PRP is then injected back into your body to stimulate healing and to ultimately bring relief.

At Florida Medical Pain Management, the team keeps you comfortable at all times. They can use a local anesthetic depending on where you get your injection.

Once your body receives the PRP injection, the growth factors promote tissue repair. Improvements in your body and a reduction of your pain should be noticed within a few weeks. Your doctor might want to schedule additional PRP injections to get you the best outcome possible.

  • Pulled or torn muscles
  • Osteoporosis
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Back, neck, and knee pain
