What is PRP treatment?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a sample of your own blood. Processing concentrates platelets, which contain growth factors and other signaling proteins involved in the body’s healing response. The prepared PRP is injected into a selected treatment area when clinically appropriate. Its potential usefulness depends on the diagnosis, and research findings vary.

The process of PRP treatment involves drawing a small sample of your blood. It’s then processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma and is injected into the targeted area. Because PRP treatment uses your own biological material, the risk of adverse reactions and side effects is low.

In a nutshell, this is what you can expect from PRP treatment:

  1. Blood is drawn from your arm
  2. The sample is placed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets
  3. The platelet-rich plasma is carefully injected into the treatment area
  4. Once injected, the growth factors in the plasma signal the body to begin repairing damaged tissue.

The goal of PRP treatment is to experience improved strength, reduced inflammation, and better overall function.

Dr. Nabity is awesome! He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!

I found Dr. Santa Ana very helpful. I had a condition that is rarely seen and he did research on his own to make sure that I would receive the proper treatment. He’s very kind and his bedside manner is very spectacular. You can tell he really cares.

In an effort to use time at home towards bettering myself, I may have overdid it with the online workouts. I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Santa Ana quickly and he was able to diagnose me online. His line of questioning showed me he was very knowledgeable and ultimately diagnosed me with a muscle strain which eased my fears. Great bedside manner. I highly recommended to anyone looking for genuine honesty and compassion in their care.

Dr. checked up on me soon after the injection, and was notably concerned about my pain levels and well being. I would consider Dr. Nabity at the top of the list of cutting edge treatments, a caring bedside manner, and someone that I would recommend to anyone that I care about.
