You’re Not Alone, and You Have Options

PRP uses your own blood, so there’s no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most exciting developments in non-surgical orthopedic medicine. The idea is simple: your own platelets carry powerful growth factors that drive healing. When you concentrate those platelets and inject them directly into an injured tendon or joint, you amplify the healing process dramatically.

At Ironworks, we draw a small sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich layer, and inject it, under ultrasound guidance, into the exact injury site. The whole process takes about 45 minutes and uses no pharmaceuticals.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Consultation visits run about 45 minutes. The PRP procedure itself is scheduled separately and takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Review of your injury history and previous treatments

Physical exam and diagnostic ultrasound to map the exact injury

Honest discussion of likely PRP success rates for your specific condition

If you choose to proceed: scheduling of the PRP injection (usually a separate visit)

Frequently Asked Questions

The blood draw and injection feel similar to a standard shot. Some patients experience soreness at the injection site for 24–72 hours as the healing response begins, we consider that a good sign that the treatment is working.

Unlike a cortisone shot that provides fast (but temporary) relief, PRP takes time. Most patients notice gradual improvement over 4–6 weeks, with continued progress for 3–6 months as healing continues.

Many patients benefit from a single injection. Others do best with a series of 2–3 injections spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Generally no. PRP is still considered investigational by most insurance plans and is paid out of pocket.

Yes. Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen and naproxen can interfere with the healing response PRP is designed to trigger.
