What is PRP for Joints?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for joints is a regenerative therapy that uses a small sample of your own blood to promote healing in injured or degenerated joint tissues. Once processed, the concentrated platelets are injected into the affected joint, where they release growth factors that help your body naturally repair. This treatment improves your mobility and function by promoting tissue repair within the joint and supporting the growth of stronger, healthier tissues.
At Stem Cell Therapy NYC, a team of pain management specialists led by Dr. Loen Reyfman provides PRP injections for joints as well as stem cell therapy techniques that include:
- Stem cell therapy for joints
- Stem cell therapy for nerves and PRP when joint damage causes neuropathies
- Stem cell therapy for your back and PRP when joint issues affect your spine
What Conditions Are Treatable with PRP for Joints?
Treatments using PRP for joints address a range of orthopedic conditions involving joint degeneration, injury or inflammation. Each procedure focuses on specific affected joints to support recovery and restore smoother, pain-free movement if you have:
- Meniscal tear
- Knee arthritis
- ACL tear
- Hip arthritis or labral tear
- Rotator cuff tear
- Tennis elbow
- Sports injury
By stimulating repair within the joint, these targeted therapies promote lasting joint stability and improve your overall strength. These outpatient procedures usually take less than an hour, allowing you to go home the same day. Side effects and complications are rare.
