Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Enhance Your Body’s Ability to Heal
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a safe and non-invasive alternative to surgery that uses platelets from your own blood to strengthen your body’s natural healing response and provide pain relief from tissue injury and damage.
When our bodies sustain damage, it’s initial response is to send platelets to the afflicted area. PRP Therapy introduces a purer and more concentrated supply of platelets to accelerate the body’s ability to heal itself.

How PRP Therapy Works
BLOOD
Everyone’s blood is composed of the same key components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets.
Platelets are responsible for controlling bleeding. They also release growth factors, or proteins that stimulate the growth of tissue, to accelerate healing and repair.
PRP Therapy works by concentrating the platelets in your blood and re-injecting them into the affected areas.
PRP CAN TREAT
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes.
Chronic Joint Pain
Chronic and debilitating joint pain is a painful reality for millions of Americans. Most people believe that surgery or daily pain medication is their only option, and delay seeking treatment not realizing PRP is a natural and longer-lasting alternative.
Lower Back Pain
More than 50 million Americans suffer from back pain. We understand that back pain is debilitating and can affect almost every area of your life. The good news is that usually only the extreme cases require surgery. You can successfully treat most back pain with exercise – like frequent stretches and by strengthening tissues – and regenerative medical therapies such as PRP Therapy.
Osteoarthritis
Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, which is caused by an autoimmune disease that attacks the body’s joints, osteoarthritis is caused by the mechanical wearing down of cartilage in your joints from use. Treating the causes of joint pain will prevent any permanent damage that may lead to chronic health problems and disability in the future.
Hair Thinning or Hair Loss
Your hair growth occurs in cycles, and successful hair growth depends on the presence of important proteins and growth factors for hair follicles to produce strong, thick hair. When those proteins and growth factors are absent, hair loss and thinning of the hair can become a problem. PRP for hair restoration is a direct injection of these crucial substances right into your scalp in those regions where hair growth has become problematic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does PRP Therapy Heal the Body?
With any injury, increased blood flow and platelet delivery to the area is the body’s first response.
Platelets are packed with restorative growth factors that start the healing process, and they naturally attract stem cells to further stimulate healing.
PRP Therapy supercharges the body’s healing process by delivering a purer and higher concentration of platelets to the damaged area.
The PRP serum used in the procedure is prepared much like any other blood test, manually in a lab with the help of a centrifuge.
Once the PRP sample is prepared, Dr. Childers will inject the treatment into the affected area to enhance your body’s natural healing process.
This risk of transmissible infections, allergic reactions, and other adverse side effects are eliminated because your own blood is used for the procedure.
