What Is PRP Joint Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body’s own growth factors — drawn from your blood, concentrated, and re-injected into the joint or tendon — to accelerate natural healing. Ideal for nagging old injuries, tendinitis, mild-to-moderate arthritis, and chronic pain that hasn’t responded to rest or conventional treatment.
Who Benefits from PRP?
- Weekend warriors with nagging joint pain
- Men recovering from old sports injuries
- Those with early osteoarthritis who want to delay surgery
- Tendinitis and tendon injuries (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, patellar, Achilles)
- Men who want a non-surgical, regenerative alternative

Back to what you love.
Most men are back to light activity the same day, full strength in 4–6 weeks.
What to Expect
A brief, scheduled procedure visit: blood draw, centrifuge concentration, and targeted injection. We coordinate the logistics so you can be home recovering the same day. Most men are back to light activity the same day with a taper-up protocol over 2-3 weeks. We typically recommend reassessment at 4-6 weeks.
Who This Is For. And Who It Isn’t.
A good fit for
- Men with chronic tendinopathy, partial tendon tears, mild to moderate joint pain, or recovery plateaus.
- Men who want to delay or avoid surgery and prefer a regenerative approach.
- Men who can give the protocol time. PRP improvement builds over weeks to months.
Not the right fit if
- You have severe joint degeneration that needs a surgical solution. PRP cannot rebuild a joint that has lost most of its cartilage.
- You have a bleeding disorder or are on blood thinners that cannot be paused.
- You expect immediate pain relief. PRP works through tissue healing, which takes time.
