Frequently asked questions
What is Platelet Rich Plasma?

Platelets are responsible for wound healing in the body. PRP contains concentrated platelets and their growth factors and will accelerate the body’s own healing processes.
How Does it Help?
The growth factors found in PRP will accelerate the body’s natural healing. The lessoning in pain and increase in functioning when combined with chiropractic care and physical therapy can leave the body stronger and more functional than it was before.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
This answer is dependent on the specific condition and the severity of the injury. Many people feel relief after one treatment. Most individuals have between 1 – 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Are There Side Effects or Pain After?
Since the patient’s own blood is used, side effects are minimal. Most people may experience mild pain or swelling after injection, which generally can be treated with Tylenol. In addition, our medical team often recommends physical rehabilitation to help strengthen the muscles groups affected at the site of your original injury.
Am I a Good Candidate for PRP?
PRP is a good option for individuals who have failed other conservative treatment methods and are looking to avoid surgery.
