What Are PRP Injections?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections at Metro Spine Pain Centers offer a natural approach to healing by using your body's own platelets to repair damaged tissues. Packed with growth factors that promote cell regeneration and tissue repair, the concentrated platelets result in a powerful solution that can be injected directly into the affected area, such as a joint, tendon, or ligament. For patients experiencing knee pain, PRP injections for the knee have shown promising results. It's important to know that Medicare typically does not cover the cost of PRP knee injections, but our team can guide you through understanding your options. Schedule a consultation with our team at one of our practices in Oxon Hill, Clinton, or Takoma Park, MD to learn more about how this cutting-edge treatment could work for you.
How Do PRP Injections Work?
During a PRP joint injection session, a member of our team will draw blood and process it for concentrated platelets. The platelets are injected into the specific area causing discomfort. For example, a PRP injection for knee pain targets the joint to reduce inflammation and encourage healing. Most patients report little downtime, and the overall PRP injection recovery time is typically short. While some might experience mild soreness at the injection site, it usually subsides within a day or two. Over the following weeks, the treated area begins to heal as the platelets do their work. Patients often notice gradual improvements in pain levels and mobility.
What Are the Benefits of PRP Injections?
Many people choose PRP injection therapy because it's a drug-free, nonsurgical option with a proven track record at Metro Spine Pain Centers. Using your body's natural healing power to treat pain can have lasting advantages, such as:
- Reduced pain and inflammation in treated joints or tissues
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Accelerated healing for injuries or chronic conditions
- Minimally invasive treatment with little downtime
- Long-term results that address the root cause of pain
- Fewer risks compared to traditional surgical options
