Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Healing Power

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that utilizes the body’s own healing properties to repair damaged tissues, reduce pain, and improve function. PRP is derived from a patient’s own blood, where platelets—cells essential for clotting and healing—are concentrated to accelerate tissue regeneration. After a simple blood draw, the sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from other blood components. This enriched PRP is then injected into injured joints, tendons, ligaments, or soft tissues to promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation. To ensure precision, the injection is often guided by ultrasound or X-ray imaging.

How PRP Therapy Works and Its Benefits

Once injected, PRP releases growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, attracting reparative cells to the injury site. Clinical studies have shown that PRP therapy improves function and reduces pain in conditions such as tendonitis, ligament injuries, arthritis, bursitis, and meniscus tears. It has been successfully used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including injuries in the elbow, wrist, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. PRP therapy is particularly promising for individuals with osteoarthritis who seek a non-surgical alternative to pain management. Because the treatment uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is minimal.

Following the procedure, patients typically undergo a brief rest period before starting a rehabilitation program, including progressive stretching and strengthening exercises. At Nortex Tissue Regeneration, we offer PRP therapy for joint conditions, ligament injuries, and chronic musculoskeletal pain—helping our patients regain mobility and live pain-free without the need for surgery.
