Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

MINIMALLY INVASIVE. REGENERATIVE. 

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: amplifying your body's own healing power.

PRP therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your body's own platelets to accelerate healing and rejuvenation. PRP therapy harnesses the natural growth factors within your blood to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.  PRP therapy is ideal for individuals seeking to address joint pain, injuries, and aesthetic aging concerns.

PRP therapy is a minimally-invasive procedure that promotes and amplifies the natural restoration and healing processes within our bodies. Platelets, renowned for their blood-clotting capabilities, also contain an arsenal of growth factors and proteins, essential allies in the repair and rejuvenation of tissue affected by injury or degeneration.

Our PRP procedure expertly concentrates these elements from your own blood, creating a powerful injectate designed to stimulate and augment your body's inherent healing response.

PRP is an excellent, minimally-invasive option to treat spine pain, joint pain, and other musculoskeletal and aesthetic conditions.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

Natural Healing Boost

Minimally Invasive

PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the affected area. This approach avoids the need for major surgery, offering a safer and quicker recovery.

Versatile Applications

PRP therapy finds applications across various medical fields, from orthopedics and pain management to cosmetic aesthetics. It can be used to treat joint pain, sports injuries, hair loss, and skin rejuvenation, and more- showcasing its versatility in addressing diverse health and aesthetic concerns.

FAQs

  • PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, injections harness the body's own healing mechanisms using concentrated platelets from the patient’s blood. Derived from bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes that then release parts of their cytoplasm into the bloodstream (which then form platelets), these platelets are key in clotting and tissue repair. During PRP therapy, a small blood sample is centrifuged to isolate these healing platelets, which are then injected into the affected area. This boosts the natural healing process, helping treat conditions ranging from sports injuries to cosmetic issues by accelerating recovery and reducing inflammation.

  • The FDA has established a division to regulate blood products, known as the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. Under regulation 21 CFR 1271.15(b), treatment using a patient’s own blood products is allowed by the FDA. Numerous devices that prepare PRP have been FDA cleared. Cell therapy, if utilizing a patient’s own cells, and if those cells are “minimally manipulated” is also allowed by the FDA. The FDA still considers these treatments to be investigational.

  • The efficacy and timeline for noticeable improvements after PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment can vary among individuals, based on the severity of the condition and individual healing responses.

    Generally, about 90% of patients report experiencing some degree of relief within a week after their first PRP injection. However, the full therapeutic effect often unfolds over several weeks to months as the growth factors in the PRP stimulate the body's natural healing processes.

    An initial course of three injections, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, is typically recommended to optimize outcomes, especially for more chronic or severe conditions. It's important for patients to have realistic expectations and discuss their specific treatment plan and prognosis with their healthcare provider.

  • PRP can be used to treat a wide range of injuries, including osteoarthritis, lumbar spinal disc pain, TMJ, muscle tears, rotator cuff injuries, and tendon and ligament injuries. In addition to these conditions, PRP therapy is continually being explored for its potential applications in other areas of medicine, including cosmetic procedures, hair loss treatment, sexual health conditions such as ED, and the acceleration of healing in surgical sites. The versatility and safety profile of PRP makes it a valuable tool in both improving patients’ quality of life and pushing the boundaries of traditional treatment methodologies.

  • If you’ve been injured, seeking treatment right away will produce the best results. Significant results can be achieved even with old injuries and arthritis.

  • “STEMS brought me to closer to what I felt like in my youth.”

    For several years I was experiencing cramping and back aches after completing chemotherapy. It was extremely difficult to function in my line of work. The healthcare system I was being treated at just chalked it up to periodic post-chemo discomfort. I felt like I hit a dead-end, but still hoped to find someone else out there. There was no way I was going to live life this way. That's when I came across STEMS. The consult with Dr. Choxi was very informative and instilled confidence in my suggested treatment. After receiving pain treatment, I have honestly started to feel a significant reduction in discomfort. I am much more productive at work and feel reinvigorated.

    STEMS brought me to closer to what I felt like in my youth... I have this renewed sense of faith in what medicine is capable of. It's amazing how much the body can rebound when you have the right care and put in the necessary work yourself. I encourage anyone who may be suffering to not lose hope, as there may be cutting-edge solutions with regenerative medicine.
