Frequently Asked Questions
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. At Pacific Crest Orthopedics, we create the PRP by drawing a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. This PRP is then injected into the injured area, releasing growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces.
We use PRP therapy to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions, including but not limited to, chronic tendon injuries like tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis, acute ligament and muscle injuries, and osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, hip, and other joints. Our specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if PRP is the right treatment for your specific condition.
The entire process for a PRP injection at Pacific Crest Orthopedics typically takes about an hour. It begins with a consultation and evaluation by one of our orthopedic specialists. If PRP is deemed appropriate, a small amount of your blood is drawn. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to create the PRP. Finally, the concentrated PRP is injected into the injured area, often with the guidance of ultrasound to ensure precise placement.
While PRP therapy has been shown to be effective for many conditions, insurance coverage can vary. Many insurance plans do not cover PRP therapy as it is still considered an emerging treatment by some providers. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine your coverage. Our billing department is also available to discuss self-pay options and provide you with an estimated cost of treatment.
The primary benefit of PRP therapy is that it is a minimally invasive treatment that uses your body's own healing properties to repair damaged tissue, which can lead to reduced pain and improved function. Since your own blood is used, the risk of a transmissible infection or an allergic reaction is minimal. As with any injection, there is a small risk of infection, bleeding, or nerve damage at the injection site. Our doctors will discuss all potential risks and benefits with you before the procedure.
The time it takes to see results from PRP therapy can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some patients may experience initial improvement within a few weeks, while others may notice a more gradual improvement over several months. The healing process is gradual, and the full benefits of the treatment may not be realized for up to six months. Your doctor will provide you with a personalized recovery plan and timeline.
