Live Pain-Free with PRP Therapy from Total Orthopedic Care
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments contain healing growth elements from your own blood, thereby boosting your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Just as your morning coffee perks you up, platelet injection treatments can stimulate healing within a targeted area – encouraging your own cells to work efficiently to repair damaged tissue faster and relieve pain sooner.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
No Downtime
PRP therapy is a pain-relieving treatment that delivers fast and effective healing through a simple injection procedure – without surgery. After a PRP therapy treatment, you can carry on with the rest of your day without downtime!
Less Risk
PRP therapy is essentially your own body healing itself. Your doctor takes some of your own blood, separates out the platelets, then injects the concentrated platelets into the damaged tissue. So the therapy is made from your own DNA. And since it’s only an injection, PRP therapy is less likely to have complications or side effects than surgery.
Faster Healing
When the concentrated platelets from your blood are injected into the affected area, this helps to relieve pain and other symptoms caused by the damage. PRP therapy naturally enhances your body’s healing abilities so you can experience speedy, thorough healing and return to your active lifestyle.

“I live an active lifestyle, but I started feeling pain in my hip. Total Orthopaedic discovered that it wasn’t my hip but my pelvis that had weak ligaments. They recommended PRP therapy and after just 2 treatments I am pain-free.” – Brianna D.

PRP FAQs
Q1) What is PRP therapy?
A1) Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a type of regenerative medicine aimed to treat many injuries and health conditions affecting tissues, such as tendons and ligaments.
Q2) What types of injuries does PRP therapy treat?
A2) PRP therapy is commonly used for chronic muscle or tendon injuries in the hips, knees, and shoulders, as well as ankle injuries, muscle tears, rotator cuff tears, tendinosis, or tennis elbow.
Q3) How is PRP therapy performed?
A3) Blood is drawn from the patient and placed into a special centrifuge. The platelets are then harvested apart from the other components of the blood. This formula is then injected into the injured or painful area. Most patients experience positive results over the course of a few weeks.
Q4) How does PRP therapy differ from cortisone injections?
A4) Cortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that’s injected solely to reduce inflammation, not to relieve pain per se. Unlike PRP therapy, cortisone injections do not alter or heal the underlying cause of the pain.
Q5) Is PRP therapy painful?
A5) Experiences may vary based on the patient’s pain tolerance and the injured or affected area. Accounts range from mild to moderate.
Q6) How many injections are needed for treatment?
A6) Treatment plans are based on the patient’s injury and lifestyle. Many conditions only require between one and three treatments; chronic conditions may need ongoing treatments to manage the pain or the injury.
Q7) What are the possible side effects of PRP therapy?
A7) Some patients may experience a temporary increase of pain or discomfort following the injection. As with most injections, there is a minor risk of infection and injury to the blood vessel. There’s also a minor risk of injury to the tissue itself upon injection.
Q8) What is the cost of PRP therapy?
A8) An initial consultation is required to determine whether a patient is a qualifying candidate for PRP therapy. Upon confirmation, physicians will discuss injection prices and payment options. PRP therapy costs much less than surgery and requires no downtime – and time is money!
Q9) How do I know whether PRP therapy has helped me?
A9) PRP therapy doesn’t mask your symptoms and pain – rather, the goal is to relieve or significantly reduce your pain for the long term. If the treatment is successful, you will experience less pain, more mobility, and/or increased strength and stability.
