Unlock Healing with PRP Injections for Joint and Tissue Repair

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are a regenerative treatment designed to promote healing and tissue repair in joints, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

The PRP process at Jean Walter Infusion Center begins with our skilled healthcare team drawing a small sample of your blood in our comfortable outpatient setting. Using state-of-the-art centrifugation technology on-site, we separate and concentrate the platelets within your plasma—creating a solution rich in growth factors and healing proteins.

After preparation, our experienced clinicians inject the PRP directly into the area of injury or degeneration, such as a knee affected by osteoarthritis, a painful tendon, or another soft tissue concern. The concentrated platelets support your body’s natural healing response by releasing growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and may help decrease pain and improve function over time.

PRP therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery and traditional pain management approaches. Many individuals experience significant symptom relief and improved mobility following PRP injections as part of their personalized treatment plan.

PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment frequently used to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. At our infusion center, we commonly use PRP for:

• Tendon Injuries: PRP is especially effective for chronic conditions like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), Achilles tendinopathy, and patellar tendinopathy. These injuries often heal slowly due to limited blood supply, and PRP can help accelerate the healing process.

• Osteoarthritis: Mild to moderate osteoarthritis, particularly of the knee, responds well to PRP therapy. By promoting tissue repair within the joint, PRP can help reduce pain and improve joint function, offering an alternative to more invasive procedures.

• Ligament Sprains: Injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in the knee or ulnar collateral ligament injuries in the elbow can benefit from PRP therapy, as it may support and speed up the healing process.

• Muscle Strains and Tears: For muscle strains and partial muscle tears, PRP can potentially reduce inflammation and promote faster recovery, helping patients return to their normal activities sooner.

• Rotator Cuff Injuries: PRP is sometimes used for partial-thickness rotator cuff tears or chronic tendinopathies in the shoulder, especially when other treatments have not provided relief.

At Jean Walter Infusion Center, our experienced healthcare team carefully evaluates each patient to determine if PRP therapy is appropriate, especially for those who have not achieved satisfactory results with conservative treatments. Our goal is to provide individualized, cutting-edge care to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life.

PRP therapy utilizes the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to promote recovery. The process begins with a small sample of your blood, drawn right here at Jean Walter Infusion Center. This sample is carefully processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors vital for tissue repair and regeneration. Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission is extremely low when compared to donor tissues or synthetic substances.

Our team specializes in minimally invasive treatments like PRP injections. These procedures are performed in our comfortable outpatient setting, often with minimal downtime—allowing you to return to your daily activities more quickly. PRP is an excellent option for individuals seeking alternatives to surgery or for those who may not be ideal candidates for invasive interventions.

PRP therapy is designed to enhance your body’s natural healing response. The high concentration of growth factors in PRP can help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery. We have seen positive results in patients with osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament sprains—conditions where traditional treatments may offer only temporary relief. Unlike repeated corticosteroid injections, which can weaken tissues over time, PRP may actually support and strengthen the affected areas.

At Jean Walter Infusion Center, we recognize that every patient is unique. Our experienced providers tailor PRP preparation and treatment to your individual needs, adjusting platelet concentration and injection volume based on your specific injury or condition. Many of our patients have reported improved pain relief and function after PRP therapy, with fewer side effects than those typically associated with long-term medications or surgery.

PRP therapy harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities. Our expert medical team at Jean Walter Infusion Center draws a small sample of your blood and processes it in our specialized centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors and proteins essential for tissue repair and healing.

After preparing the PRP, we carefully inject it into the area of injury or pain—such as joints, tendons, or ligaments. The concentrated growth factors in PRP help stimulate your body’s own repair processes, encouraging regeneration of damaged tissue. PRP also attracts stem cells and other healing cells to the injury site, accelerating recovery and improving tissue strength.

Benefits for Our Patients
Our patients often seek PRP therapy for conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or ligament sprains. PRP injections not only promote tissue healing but also help reduce pain and inflammation by regulating the body’s inflammatory response. This dual action helps lessen swelling and discomfort while supporting long-term recovery. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online. We have convenient locations to serve you.
