Platelet-rich plasma injections begin with a sample of your own blood. A physician evaluation helps determine whether it belongs in your treatment plan.
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared by processing a blood sample to concentrate platelets. Platelets contain growth factors involved in the body’s natural healing response. PRP is considered for selected musculoskeletal concerns, but it is not a treatment for every type of pain.
Dr. Grossinger considers your symptoms, examination, relevant imaging, medical history, previous treatment, and goals. A recommendation may include rehabilitation, other non-surgical care, referral, or a discussion of PRP when appropriate.
Research and outcomes vary by condition and preparation method. Improvement is not guaranteed. Potential risks include pain at the injection site, bleeding, infection, and injury to nearby structures. Ask about the evidence for your exact diagnosis, alternatives, and the proposed recovery plan.
