What are musculoskeletal PRP injections?

Musculoskeletal PRP is an injection consisting of plasma and platelets sourced from your own blood. The platelets have healing capabilities and enhance your body’s ability to generate new cells. Musculoskeletal PRP offers several benefits and can help you avoid the need for addictive pain medications and invasive procedures.

What are the benefits of musculoskeletal PRP treatment?

Are musculoskeletal PRP injections right for me?
To find out if musculoskeletal PRP injections are the right procedure for you, MiraMe Health specialists discuss your symptoms and medical history. They check your vital signs and complete a physical exam. The MiraMe Health team then personalizes the best treatment plan for you.

What should I expect during the procedure?
While you’re sitting in a comfortable chair, your provider takes a blood sample from your arm. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of your blood. They then inject musculoskeletal PRP into your muscles, joints, or other musculoskeletal tissues to improve new cell growth.

Is it painful?
You will be given a numbing injection prior to the PRP injection.

What happens after musculoskeletal PRP treatment?
After musculoskeletal PRP injections, you can resume your routine right away since no recovery time is needed. However, you can expect some tenderness, redness, and/or swelling at the injection site. MiraMe Health providers often recommend a series of musculoskeletal PRP treatments to ensure the best possible healing and pain reduction. They let you know when to schedule your next session. As your body begins to heal, you can expect better musculoskeletal function and improvements in your overall well-being.
