PRP Joint Injections McHenry County, Kane County, & Lake County | Fox River MedSpa Algonquin, IL
Heal From Within: PRP Joint Injections In Algonquin, IL
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also called enriched plasma therapy, uses a concentrate of your own blood to support healing in a painful joint, tendon or ligament.
Nurse Practitioner Michelle guides every injection with ultrasound, so the plasma goes exactly where it is needed, and builds a care plan around your injury and your goals.
Where PRP Can Help
- Joint pain from arthritis, an old injury or everyday wear
- Muscle injuries, from a strain to a deeper tear
- Tendons and ligaments that are slow to heal on their own
Platelets carry the growth factors your body already uses to repair tissue. Concentrating them and placing them at the injury gives that repair a stronger start.
How A PRP Joint Injection Works
1. A Small Blood Draw
We draw a small amount of blood from your arm, much like a routine lab test.
2. Concentrating The Platelets
A centrifuge separates the platelets and growth factors from the rest of the blood.
3. A Guided Injection
Michelle uses ultrasound to place the plasma precisely in the joint, tendon or ligament. Plan on about an hour for the visit.
Pricing
A PRP joint injection is $650. A series of three is $1,755. Michelle will tell you at your first visit whether a series makes sense for your injury.
