PRP
is created from your own blood and used to support the body’s natural repair process.
A natural regenerative therapy designed to support healing, reduce pain, and repair damaged tissue.
PRP Therapy uses a concentrated supply of platelets taken from your own blood. Platelets are best known for helping the body stop bleeding, but they also release growth factors that support tissue growth, healing, and repair.
When you are injured, your body naturally sends platelets to the affected area as part of the healing process. PRP Therapy builds on that response by concentrating those platelets and placing them directly where support is needed.
PRP Therapy may be considered for patients experiencing pain, tissue damage, or conditions that affect comfort, movement, and quality of life.
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain that involves inflammation in the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot. PRP may help support tissue repair and reduce discomfort in the affected area.
PRP may be considered for ongoing joint pain in areas such as the knees, hips, shoulders, or other joints. The goal is to support healing in the affected area rather than only managing discomfort with medication.
For some types of lower back pain, PRP may be used as part of a regenerative approach to support damaged tissue, improve function, and reduce pain.
Osteoarthritis occurs when joint cartilage wears down over time. PRP may help support the body’s repair response in joints affected by stiffness, inflammation, and cartilage damage.
PRP for hair restoration uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to support healthier hair follicles and encourage improved hair growth in targeted areas of the scalp.
A small amount of blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
The platelets are concentrated to create a PRP serum that contains healing growth factors.
The PRP is injected into the treatment area to support healing, tissue repair, and pain relief.
Over time, the growth factors released by the platelets help stimulate the body’s natural repair process.
Many patients consider PRP because it is a natural, minimally invasive regenerative therapy that uses the body’s own healing components. For people dealing with chronic pain, soft tissue injury, or joint concerns, PRP may offer a non surgical option designed to support repair instead of only masking symptoms.
PRP is made from your own blood and uses your own platelets to support healing.
Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or transmissible infection is reduced.
PRP may be considered by patients who want to explore regenerative care before moving toward more invasive treatment.
PRP is designed to stimulate repair over time, with improvement that may continue as the healing process progresses.
Dr. Henry Childers explains how Platelet Rich Plasma is extracted using the double spin method. This video helps patients understand how platelets are separated, concentrated, and prepared before being used for treatment.
PRP may help support patients dealing with chronic joint pain, osteoarthritis, lower back pain, or soft tissue injury by encouraging repair in the affected area.
By supporting tissue healing and reducing inflammation, PRP may help patients move more comfortably and return to daily activities with less discomfort.
PRP may also be used for hair thinning or hair loss by delivering concentrated growth factors to targeted areas of the scalp.
Watch patient stories from Delaware Integrative Medicine to learn how PRP Therapy has supported pain relief, recovery, and improved quality of life.
PRP supports the body’s repair process, so results are typically gradual rather than immediate.
Many patients experience improvement within the first few weeks, with results continuing as tissue repair progresses.
Your provider will explain what to expect based on your treatment area, symptoms, and overall health.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support tissue repair, healing, and pain relief.
Platelets contain growth factors that help stimulate tissue growth, repair, and recovery. PRP concentrates those platelets and places them directly in the area that needs support.
PRP may be considered for plantar fasciitis, chronic joint pain, lower back pain, osteoarthritis, soft tissue damage, and hair thinning or hair loss.
Yes. PRP uses platelets from your own blood, which makes it a natural regenerative therapy.
No. PRP is a minimally invasive treatment performed through targeted injections.
A small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge. The platelets are separated and concentrated before being injected into the treatment area.
Results vary. Many patients begin noticing improvement within the first few weeks, with results continuing to develop as the body repairs and heals.
Not everyone is the right candidate for PRP. Dr. Childers will review your condition, symptoms, and overall health to determine whether PRP is appropriate.
Yes. The new page should include testimonial videos from PRP patients, including Tim, Richie, Dixie, and Phil.
If chronic pain, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis, lower back pain, or hair thinning is affecting your quality of life, PRP Therapy may offer a natural regenerative option. Buttons: Schedule a Consultation
