Northwest Medical Clinic is now offering ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, injections for selected patients seeking symptomatic relief from joint, tendon, and musculoskeletal pain.
PRP is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and injected into a targeted area. In musculoskeletal care, PRP may be considered for certain patients whose goals include reduced pain, improved range of motion, and improved day-to-day function.
It is important to understand that PRP is not a cure and does not treat the underlying cause of arthritis, tendon injury, or chronic pain. Results vary, and PRP is not appropriate for everyone.
At Northwest Medical Clinic, PRP injections are performed using ultrasound guidance. A consultation is required before treatment to determine whether PRP is a reasonable option based on your symptoms, medical history, diagnosis, and treatment goals.
PRP is typically offered as a cash-pay service. Please call the office to discuss current pricing.
Patients interested in learning more may contact Northwest Medical Clinic or schedule an appointment to discuss whether PRP may be appropriate.
