PRP & Lubricating Injections
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and lubricating injections are advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to reduce joint pain, improve mobility, and support natural healing. These therapies are commonly used for arthritis, tendon injuries, and joint degeneration to help patients delay or avoid surgery.
What Are PRP & Lubricating Injections?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood platelets to stimulate healing in injured or degenerative tissues. Platelets contain growth factors that support tissue repair and regeneration.
Lubricating injections, often used for arthritic joints, help improve joint cushioning and reduce friction. These injections enhance joint movement and can relieve pain associated with cartilage wear and degeneration.
Both treatments are performed in-office and are designed to support joint function with minimal downtime.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s own healing components to repair damaged tissue.
How PRP Works
A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that:
Stimulate tissue repair
Reduce inflammation
Support collagen production
Accelerate healing
The concentrated plasma is then precisely injected into the injured area.


Common Conditions Treated with PRP:
Knee pain and early arthritis
Tendonitis (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
Rotator cuff injuries
Ligament sprains
Chronic joint inflammation
Sports injuries
