PRP Q & A

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

The team at Superior Health and Wellness can treat your pain with PRP, a procedure that uses your own blood to promote healing in your body.

Your provider draws a small sample of your blood, which contains platelets that are responsible for promoting cell growth. Your blood is then processed in a machine called a centrifuge to extract the PRP. The PRP is then injected back into your body to stimulate healing and ultimately bring relief.

At Superior Health and Wellness, the team keeps you comfortable at all times. They can use a local anesthetic, depending on where you get your injection.

Once your body receives the PRP injection, the growth factors promote tissue repair. Improvements in your body and a reduction of your pain should be noticed within a few weeks. Your provider might want to schedule additional PRP injections to get you the best outcome possible.
