Platelet-Rich Plasma

Learn how platelet-rich plasma injections may be considered for selected joint or tendon conditions and what a specialist reviews first.

An Injection Prepared From Your Own Blood

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and concentrating the platelets in plasma. The preparation is then injected into a selected joint, tendon, or other treatment area.

Evidence and expected response vary by diagnosis and treatment site. A specialist reviews the condition, earlier care, health history, and treatment goals before recommending PRP.

Preparation, temporary post-injection soreness, activity changes, rehabilitation, cost, and follow-up are discussed before treatment.
