If you’ve heard about PRP and you’re wondering if it’s your best option—you’re asking the right question. Because the truth is, real healing rarely comes from just one thing. The best results often come from a personalized approach that works with your body—not against it.

Are you ready to find out what’s possible for you?

Here's how it breaks down:
👉For early to moderate arthritis:
PRP is one of the best non-surgical options available. It reduces pain, slows joint degeneration, and supports healing—all with minimal downtime.

But some patients may benefit even more when PRP is paired with:
✅Stem Cell Therapy (offers even more growth factors and regenerative power)
✅Functional Medicine (to lower inflammation systemically)
✅Laser Therapy or PEMF (to accelerate tissue repair)
✅Nutritional and lifestyle support (to reduce ongoing joint breakdown)

(Side note: everything I just listed above is offered under one roof through either our Optima Medical team or our Optima Health & Vitality Center team.)

🚫When PRP might not be enough:
If your joint is already in the bone-on-bone stage, or there's severe structural damage, PRP may not provide lasting relief. In those cases, surgery or other interventions might be more appropriate—but even then, PRP is sometimes used post-surgery to speed up healing.

✨Bottom line:
PRP is an amazing tool—but like all healing, the best results come from a personalized plan that matches where you are in your health journey.

PRP isn’t for everyone… but if it is for you, it could change everything.

Most people with arthritis are stuck in a cycle of short-term fixes—meds, shots, surgery talk. But for the right person, PRP taps into the body’s own healing power to slow joint breakdown and reduce pain naturally.

The question is: Are you the right candidate?

If you’re in the severe stages of bone-on-bone arthritis, have a bleeding disorder, or are currently dealing with active cancer or a serious infection, PRP might not be the best fit for you right now.

But…

If you’re:
✅In the early to moderate stages of arthritis
✅Tired of temporary fixes like pills and cortisone
✅Looking for a natural alternative that actually supports your body’s healing…

Then PRP may be exactly what you’ve been hoping for.

We’ll help you find out if you're a candidate—and if you're not, we’ll guide you toward the next best step for you.

PRP isn’t just another band-aid. It taps into your body’s own repair system to help restore damaged joints—naturally.

Most patients experience relief from joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation for about 6 to 12 months after a PRP injection. Some report benefits lasting even up to 18 months, depending on:

Factors that affect how long results last:
✅Severity of arthritis (mild to moderate responds best)
✅Joint treated (knees tend to do well)
✅Number of injections (some people need a series of 2–3)
✅Overall health and lifestyle (weight, inflammation, activity levels)
✅Follow-up care (like physical therapy, nutrition, and anti-inflammatory support)

Can PRP be repeated?
Yes! Because it uses your own blood, PRP can be safely repeated when symptoms return. Some patients choose to get a yearly booster to maintain joint health naturally.

Most people with arthritis feel like they’ve tried everything—painkillers, cortisone shots, maybe even surgery. But what if the real healing power was already in your blood? That's where PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) comes in—a regenerative treatment that uses a your own blood to promote healing in the body.

How PRP Helps Arthritis:

PRP contains concentrated platelets, which are rich in growth factors that can:
✅Reduce inflammation in the joint
✅Slow cartilage degeneration
✅Promote healing of soft tissue
✅Improve joint lubrication
✅Relieve pain and stiffness

Benefits of PRP for Arthritis:
👉Minimally invasive (just an injection)
👉Uses your own blood, so there’s low risk of rejection or allergic reaction
👉May delay or prevent surgery
👉Outpatient procedure with little downtime

What the research says:
🔬Studies show that PRP can be more effective than corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections for pain relief and function in knee osteoarthritis.
⌛The effects may last 6–12 months or more, depending on the severity and the individual.

Ideal Candidates:
💚People with mild to moderate osteoarthritis
💚Those who want a natural, drug-free alternative to surgery or pain meds
💚Patients who haven’t found relief from other conservative treatments (like physical therapy or standard injections)

You asked; we're here to answer! PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It’s a regenerative treatment we offer in-house that uses your own blood to promote healing.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:
1️⃣ - Blood is drawn from the patient (just like a regular blood test).
2️⃣ - The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood.
3️⃣ - The resulting concentrated plasma, rich in growth factors and healing components, is injected into the area that needs healing—such as a joint or tendon.

What is PRP used for?
✔️Orthopedics: Treating joint pain, arthritis, tendonitis (e.g., knee, shoulder, or elbow pain).
✔️Sports injuries: Healing soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, or ligament tears.

Why do people like it?
💚It's natural—uses your own blood.
💚Minimally invasive.
💚Can reduce and, in some cases, eliminate the need for medications or surgery.
💚Stimulates your body’s own healing process.
