What Is PRP Therapy?
Our skilled team can harness the rejuvenating power of your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for healing. The process involves separating the PRP from your blood and injecting it back into your joints. It may help people who live with chronic or acute pain in the tendons, joints, ligaments, or intervertebral discs. When injected into these areas, PRP can improve your body’s healing abilities, reduce inflammation, and enhance your overall quality of life. We encourage you to schedule an appointment at Vitality Health and Wellness Center in Toledo, OH to learn more about PRP and how it can assist with pain management and joint recovery.
How Do PRP Treatments Work?
Following your initial consultation and examination, we'll take a small blood sample from your arm and utilize a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP will then be injected into your pain-affected area with the entire procedure typically lasting between 45 – 90 minutes, depending on the number of treatment sites. Subsequent sessions may be needed to sustain the pain-relieving effects.
It's common to experience minor bruising and sensitivity near the injection areas post-treatment. We'll provide comprehensive aftercare guidelines to aid your recovery, including recommendations like applying cold compresses and refraining from anti-inflammatory medications. We'll ensure you're well-informed about the recovery process and answer any lingering questions before you leave.

Is PRP therapy painful?
Getting PRP injections feel similar to a wrinkle filler or relaxer injection with the additional step of drawing blood to get the plasma. Generally, most patients will feel a mild pinch or pressure when the needle pierces the skin. If you're concerned about feeling pain, ask about including local anesthesia before the injection is performed.
