*PRP Therapy is an out-of-pocket treatment only
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is a regenerative treatment derived from your own blood. A small sample of blood is drawn, then processed to concentrate the platelets—rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. This PRP solution is then precisely injected into the injured or inflamed area to promote healing at the cellular level.
Conditions We Treat with PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is a promising option for a range of foot and ankle conditions, especially those involving inflammation, tendon damage, or chronic pain, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
- Ankle sprains or instability
- Ligament or tendon injuries
- Chronic heel pain
- Sports-related overuse injuries
Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Minimally invasive
- Uses your body’s natural healing mechanisms
- Reduced inflammation and pain
- Shorter recovery time compared to surgery
- Ideal for patients who prefer conservative treatment options
Many patients experience improvement within a few weeks of treatment, with continued healing over several months.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Consultation – One of our experienced podiatrists will evaluate your condition and determine if PRP is right for you.
- Blood Draw & Processing – A small amount of blood is drawn and processed in-office using a specialized centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Targeted Injection – Under ultrasound guidance (when necessary), the PRP is injected directly into the injured tissue for maximum effect.
- Recovery & Follow-up – Most patients resume light activity within a few days, with improvement continuing over time.
Is PRP Therapy Right for You?
PRP is especially effective for patients who have not responded well to physical therapy, orthotics, or medication. If you’re seeking a non-surgical, natural alternative for chronic foot or ankle pain, PRP therapy may be an ideal solution.
