What are PRP Injections?

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, more commonly known as PRP, is an emerging, non-surgical biological tool for patients with severe elbow, shoulder, knee or tendon injury and/or pain. The procedure is done by drawing the patient's blood and placing it in a centerfuge to concentrate platelets. Once this process is complete, the platelets are ready for injection. The PRP is then injected into the injury location under the guidance of an ultrasound. After the injection is complete, the patient is ready to go home and continue their daily activities.


PRP Therapy has shown to be an alternative to cortisone injections and surgery for patients with tennis elbow, Achilles tendon repair and may be helpful in arthroscopic surgeries such as rotator cuff repair.
