Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments use concentrated growth factors from your blood that are injected into the area of injury. You will not feel pain relief from the procedure right away, and you will likely experience an increase in discomfort after the procedure. Tendon injections often have a significant increase in pain post procedure that can last several days. Joints can take 6 weeks to start feeling better and tendons can take 8 weeks to start feeling better. Maximum improvement takes place over a period of several months.
Orthobiologic treatments have not been authorized by the FDA and are considered experimental by the FDA.
