Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections use a person's own platelets in order to speed up the natural healing process of injuries like tennis elbow, arthritis, and plantar fasciitis. NYPMR New York Injury Clinics provide Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections and detail the process.





Step-by-Step PRP Injection Procedure


Initial Consultation:

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at one of our conveniently located clinics across the boroughs of New York City. Our expert medical team will assess your injury, discuss your medical history, and determine if PRP therapy is the right choice for you.

 Blood Collection:

During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a standard blood test. This blood sample is then placed into a centrifuge, a machine that spins at high speeds to separate the blood components.

Platelet Concentration:

The centrifuge process isolates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. PRP contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors essential for healing and tissue regeneration.

Preparation for Injection:

The area to be treated is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the injection. The PRP solution is then prepared for administration.

PRP Injection:

Using ultrasound guidance, the PRP is precisely injected into the injured area. This ensures accurate placement and maximizes the treatment’s effectiveness.

Post-Injection Care:

After the injection, you may experience some mild discomfort or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days. Our medical team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your recovery.


Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are used for various medical purposes due to their ability to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
