Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy that leverages the natural healing properties of your own blood. By isolating and concentrating platelets and growth factors, PRP Treatment enhances the body’s innate repair mechanisms, fostering tissue regeneration and recovery. This non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure is becoming increasingly popular for its ability to expedite healing and improve outcomes in foot and ankle care at The Foot & Ankle Clinic.

What to Expect During a PRP Treatment Session
At The Foot & Ankle Clinic, a PRP Treatment session begins with a small blood draw from the patient. This sample is processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The prepared PRP is then injected into the affected foot or ankle area, using advanced imaging techniques for precise delivery. This in-office procedure is typically well-tolerated, causing minimal discomfort.
In order for PRP to be effective for the knees and hips, we need a 60cc blood draw to yield about 9.0-14.4 billion platelets. Foot and ankle areas need about 30cc blood draw to yield approximately 4.5-7.2 billion platelets. The blood draw should go through a double-spin centrifuge process for increased concentrated platelet counts
