Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support natural healing in injured or inflamed tissues. The platelets contain regenerative growth factors that help reduce inflammation, improve tissue strength, and accelerate recovery.
At InfusaLounge Integrative & Functional Medicine, PRP is used as part of our regenerative and orthopedic support approach for:
- Joint pain and degeneration
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Muscle and soft tissue injuries
- Chronic inflammation
- Slow post-injury recovery
- Mobility and performance limitations
What PRP Therapy Helps Treat
Joint Pain & Degenerative Wear
PRP may support healing and comfort in joints affected by knee pain, shoulder pain, hip discomfort, chronic joint inflammation, and mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
Tendon & Ligament Injuries
PRP delivers growth factors directly into injured connective tissue, supporting tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, patellar tendon issues, Achilles discomfort, rotator cuff irritation, and ligament sprains.
Muscle & Soft Tissue Healing
PRP may benefit muscle strains, microtears, chronic tightness, post-exercise inflammation, and slow or incomplete healing.
Inflammation & Recovery Support
PRP can help calm persistent inflammatory patterns that slow healing and contribute to chronic pain.
How PRP Therapy Works
- Step 1 — Blood Draw: — A small sample of your blood is taken from your arm.
- Step 2 — Concentration Process: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich fraction.
- Step 3 — Targeted Injection: The PRP is precisely injected into the injured joint, tendon, ligament, or tissue.
- Step 4 — Regenerative Activation: PRP signals your body to repair damaged tissue, increase collagen, reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and promote long-term tissue integrity.
Healing occurs gradually over weeks and continues improving for months.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Reduced inflammation
- Tissue repair and structural support
- Improved mobility and joint function
- Enhanced tendon and ligament healing
- Better recovery from injury
- Long-lasting effects without steroids
- Natural, autologous (from your own body)
- Minimal downtime
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation: Your provider evaluates your condition, symptom history, physical function, goals, and any relevant imaging.
- Treatment Session: 45-60 minutes. Most patients experience little discomfort. No anesthesia or surgery required.
- Recovery & Results: Mild soreness for 24-48 hours. Activity modification as advised. Improvement builds over 4-6 weeks with optimal results over 3-6 months.
