Biological Injections

Biologic injections, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, are a type of regenerative treatment increasingly used to help relieve pain and improve healing in conditions like osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal issues. Here’s an overview to help you understand how it works and what to expect:

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood to help promote healing. Blood contains platelets, which are rich in growth factors that can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and stimulate tissue repair.
During a PRP treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, and it's then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. This concentrated solution, or “PRP,” is injected directly into the affected joint or tissue.

How Does PRP Help with Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Conditions?

PRP is believed to help reduce inflammation, which is often a major source of pain in osteoarthritis and tendon injuries.
The growth factors in PRP may promote healing in damaged tissues, including cartilage and tendons. For osteoarthritis, this means it may help improve joint function and reduce pain by aiding in the health of the joint cartilage.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

Pain Relief: Many patients report decreased pain in the treated joint after a series of PRP injections.
Improved Joint Function: By reducing inflammation and supporting tissue health, PRP may improve joint movement.
Less Invasive: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, it is generally considered safe and has fewer risks than surgery.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

PRP therapy is usually an outpatient procedure and only takes about an hour.
After the injection, you might experience some initial soreness or swelling, which generally resolves within a few days.
For best results, a series of injections may be recommended over several months.

Is PRP Right for Everyone?

PRP is most effective for mild to moderate osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries, such as tendinitis or partial tendon tears.
It may not be as effective for severe osteoarthritis where the cartilage is significantly worn away.
Talk with your healthcare provider to see if PRP is a good option based on your condition and overall health.

Safety and Risks

PRP is generally safe, with minimal risk since it uses your own blood. Possible side effects include temporary pain or inflammation at the injection site.
Like any procedure, there's a small risk of infection or adverse reaction, but this is rare.

Kewaun Watkins Lake Worth, FL

What a wonderful experience! Carol the MA is super friendly and helpful. Dr. Brown is an amazing physician, took the time to meet with me and answer all my questions. Did PRP on my shoulder, looking forward to some great results. Thank you again Dr. Brown. Highly recommend visiting this facility.

J. Alvarez Palm Beach Gardens, FL

I was suffering with a shoulder impingement that was completely wrecking my sleep and just overall making life difficult. The surgeon I consulted recommended PRP as an option as my condition didn't warrant surgery. I came to this center and within the first week after treatment there was a "vitality" in my shoulder that I can't really describe fully. It was like there was "life force" in my whole arm again. The pain has gotten vastly better. I know there's more time needed to get fullest benefit (it was just a month ago) but I've been able to sleep through the night without pain that wakes me up. I give this place and Dr. Brown & his team a 10 out of 10!!! I mean truly 5 stars hands down!! I even brought my husband there a few weeks later for his shoulder and knee. And he feels the same. If you're having joint pain, this is for sure the place to go.

Really good experience. Dr Brown has very good way of explaining things. I had a PCL injury and he used a PRP injection which has certainly improved my injury.
