Platelet Rich Plasma treatments have been a game changer for injury sufferers. Leveraging the power of the body’s own healing power, some patients have experienced profound recovery in injured joints and tissues. Dr. John Laura is at the forefront in treating patients with this powerful healing technique.
With age, joints like the knee, shoulder, back, hip or feet undergo significant wear and tear. This can lead to a perpetual cycle of loss in physical activity. If we are less active because of joint pain, then we in turn miss out on the many anti-aging benefits of enough exercise. It’s a vicious circle.
To counteract and prevent inflammation as well as signs of aging, PRP therapy can stimulate joint rejuvenation by activating the body’s healing powers.
Dr. John Laura has helped many patients with joint issues, tendonitis, and arthritic conditions with this highly healing treatment. Currently it is unknown how PRP is able to reduce joint pain. We know from experience as a clinic that many patients find significant relief and can increase mobility with PRP therapy. Many studies analyze the effects of PRP on cells and tissue in a lab. Platelets contain a high concentration of growth factors. These growth factors influence inflammation and healing. Injecting plasma therapy into a joint or tendon leads to the release of growth factors improving the local environment. Ultimately, this leads to a lower level of pain and tissue healing.

Injury or cartilage degeneration can cause severe pain and lead to further problems, such as osteoarthritis—a very common condition with aging and athletic activity. PRP injections take advantage of the blood’s natural healing properties to repair the damaged tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscle, and even bone by stimulating cell growth and rejuvenation. They can also potentially reduce friction by increasing the production of natural lubricating fluids, which protects the joint from further painful damage.
PRP joint therapy may be especially suitable for you if Osteoarthritis or joint pain affect your daily activities.
The platelet-rich plasma injection treatment for joints is an outpatient procedure that takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Blood is drawn from your body and placed in a centrifuge to prepare the PRP injection. Once the PRP is ready, the affected joint area is disinfected and monitored with an ultrasound probe. Using the live image of the joint on the screen as a guidance tool to ensure precision, the PRP is then injected into the joint capsule. As the PRP stimulates a series of biological responses, you may feel some tightness, swelling and mild pain for two to three days after the treatment, but can start to expect feeling results shortly after.
