Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Doylestown, PA

Using Holistic Therapies to Promote Long-Term Healing

Advanced Spine and Sports Medicine proudly offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to Doylestown's active and vibrant community. PRP therapy is an innovative, natural treatment designed to promote healing and help you get back to doing what you love.

PRP therapy starts with your own blood. A small amount is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, the components of your blood responsible for healing and rejuvenation. When injected into targeted areas, these platelets contain powerful growth factors that encourage tissue repair and regeneration. 

Whether it’s a chronically injured joint, a stubborn tendon issue, or muscle pain that just won’t quit, PRP therapy revitalizes tissues in a way that traditional treatments often cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy? 

PRP is a form of regenerative medicine that uses cells from your blood to harness and amplify your body’s ability to heal itself. We take your blood via venipuncture, spin it down in a centrifuge to remove the red blood cells and other cells, and concentrate your platelets in your plasma. The PRP is injected into your troublesome area under ultrasound guidance to promote recovery and healing.

What are the benefits of PRP?

PRP can decrease pain and improve function in patients with various conditions, including joint osteoarthritis, tendinitis, tendinopathy, and plantar fasciitis. It is less invasive than a surgical procedure and requires less downtime for recovery. A PRP injection is also done in the office as an outpatient procedure.

Because PRP works at the cellular level, it can take several weeks to months to see improvement in symptoms. However, this is still quicker than recovering from surgery.

Are there potential side effects of PRP therapy?

Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of side effects is low. However, some people may experience mild discomfort at the injection site, temporary swelling, bruising, or redness. Serious complications are rare.

How long does it take to see results from PRP therapy?

Results vary depending on the condition being treated. Some people notice improvements within weeks, while others may require multiple sessions over a few months to achieve the desired results.

How long does PRP therapy take?

The actual injection procedure is relatively quick, typically taking only a few minutes. However, the entire process, including blood draw and preparation, may take up to 30 minutes.

How many PRP treatments are needed?

The number of PRP treatments required varies depending on the severity of the injury and individual response to therapy. In most cases, a series of 2-3 treatments is recommended, spaced several weeks apart.

Is PRP Therapy Painful?

While the injection itself may cause some discomfort, most patients describe it as a quick, tolerable prick. To minimize any discomfort, numbing medication can be applied to the injection site.

Can PRP Therapy Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes, PRP therapy can often be combined with other treatments, such as physical therapy or medications, to enhance the overall healing process.

Can Athletes Benefit from PRP Therapy?

Yes, athletes can benefit significantly from PRP therapy. It can help accelerate the healing process for various sports injuries, such as tendonitis, ligament sprains, and muscle tears.
