Intra-articular PRP Injections
Intra-articular PRP injections at Vita Nova Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Center are a specialized procedure designed to treat joint pain and damage. The injections use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood, which is rich in growth factors that stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration. Commonly used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage, this treatment offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. The PRP injections work by promoting natural healing processes, reducing the need for more invasive treatments, and improving overall joint function, helping patients achieve pain relief and enhanced mobility.

Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint condition that occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joints wears down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and a reduction in the joint's range of motion. It typically affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine, and is most common in older adults, though it can occur in younger individuals as well. Factors such as genetics, previous joint injuries, and excessive wear and tear contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. Traditional treatments like pain medications or surgery may not always provide long-term relief, which is why many turn to PRP therapy for its regenerative benefits.

Intra-articular PRP injections are used to treat various joint conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage. The procedure is designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing within the joint by utilizing a concentrated solution of the patient's own platelets. This treatment helps regenerate tissues and improve joint function, making it an effective option for those seeking relief from chronic joint issues.
Results from intra-articular PRP injections can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the joint condition. Typically, patients begin to notice improvements in pain and mobility within a few weeks, with the full benefits being felt after a few months as the body continues to heal. It is important to follow up with your provider to monitor progress and ensure optimal results from the therapy.
The intra-articular PRP injection procedure is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated by most patients. Although there may be some discomfort during the injection, local anesthesia or numbing agents are typically used to minimize pain. After the procedure, patients may experience mild soreness in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days as the healing process begins.
Side effects from intra-articular PRP injections are rare, but some patients may experience temporary soreness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the injection site. These side effects are usually short-lived and subside as the body heals. Since the treatment uses the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or serious complications is minimal, making it a safe option for joint pain relief.
