PRP Treatment Near Northview MI
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an injection-based therapy that is an orthopedic treatment for healing damaged muscles, tendons, joints, or ligaments. Here at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we provide the best in PRP treatments and other regenerative medicine practices. Yet, what is platelet-rich plasma therapy, and how can it benefit you? Check out our in-depth article below to learn all you need to know about PRP treatments.
The Basics Of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatments
Regenerative medicine, and by extension PRP treatments, aim to reduce pain and restore damage to musculoskeletal injuries. Platelet-rich plasma treatments are most popular in sports-related injuries, thanks to their regenerative muscle properties; however, these treatments can be and are still used to treat underlying medical conditions and muscle degeneration due to age. A doctor may recommend PRP therapy if you have one of the following conditions:
- Chronic tendon injuries
- Acute injuries to muscles or joints
- Postsurgical repair to help proper healing
- Osteoarthritis
- Balding
Platlet-rich plasma treatments are relatively simple and painless and come with little to no recovery times. First, PRP therapy is NOT a surgical option and doesn’t require potent or addictive drugs. When going in for a PRP treatment, the doctor will take a measure of blood, similar to a blood draw for testing. Then, it will be mixed with a solution and spun in a centrifuge to extract the plasma in a concentrated form. The resulting plasma is then injected back into the body at the affected site and stimulates the regrowth of tissues.

PRP treatments take about an hour to administer and will have you out the door without needing any recovery room time. Most people can resume their daily routine after platelet-rich plasma treatment, although your doctor may recommend rest and a regular physical therapy schedule for affected muscles. Most patients won’t feel relief within the first day, as the body requires time to regenerate after a PRP injection session. Chances are that in the following weeks, you will experience a slow but steady reduction in pain, muscle recovery, and increased mobility levels.
PRP Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
How much blood will the doctor need to draw?
While the amount of blood drawn for a PRP therapy is considered a ‘high volume blood draw,’ it usually is about 120 ccs, or roughly 1/5 of a typical blood donation, and is considered very safe.
Are PRP injections painful?
Pain levels depend on the patient, although as the therapy is administered via an injection, it is non-invasive, and the only pain would be the slight discomfort of an injection needle.
How do I know the injection is going to the right place?
PRP injections are almost always assisted by an ultrasound and/or x-ray to ensure that injection sites are safe and effective. Our Board-Certified physicians have specialty training in x-ray and ultrasound guidance to ensure the injections are administered in the correct area to produce the highest possibility for positive outcomes.
Do PRP injections really work?
Yes, there has been extensive research done into platelet-rich plasma therapies. It has been proven in several peer-reviewed publications, like this one on Web MD, which shows that PRP injections assist in tendon, muscle, and joint repair.
Are there any disqualifying conditions?
Yes, you shouldn’t consider PRP if you have the following conditions:
- Abnormal platelet function or a low platelet count
- Anemia
- Cancer
- An infection
