When you’ve tried ice packs, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, and maybe even steroid injections—but the pain keeps coming back—it’s time to stop masking symptoms and start healing. At California Sports & Spine Institute, we believe pain relief should be regenerative, not repetitive. That’s where PRP therapy comes in.

Not Just Another Injection

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy isn’t a temporary fix. It’s a biologic treatment that uses the power of your own blood—specifically the healing proteins and growth factors within your platelets—to jumpstart real tissue repair at the site of injury or degeneration.

But PRP is more than just a trend in regenerative medicine. It represents a shift in how we approach musculoskeletal pain—from suppressing symptoms to repairing the source.

What Makes PRP Different?

Here’s what sets PRP apart from typical pain treatments:

It regenerates instead of numbing. Steroids reduce inflammation, but they don’t heal damage. PRP works at the cellular level, encouraging new tissue to grow and old injuries to heal.

It’s personalized. Your PRP is unique to you. No drugs, no donor tissue—just your own blood, concentrated to optimize healing.

It’s proactive. PRP not only treats current pain—it may also prevent future degeneration in joints or discs by strengthening the tissue environment.

When and Where PRP Works Best

PRP therapy is especially promising for:

Joint wear and tear (knee osteoarthritis, hip degeneration)

Spinal disc injuries or facet joint pain

Ligament and tendon injuries, including rotator cuff, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendonitis

Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction

Sports injuries or overuse trauma

It’s often recommended for patients looking to:

Avoid or delay surgery

Improve recovery from injury

Try a more natural approach

Treat pain that hasn’t responded to other therapies

What the Process Looks Like

At California Sports & Spine Institute, PRP therapy is performed in-office and usually takes under an hour. The process includes:

A quick blood draw.

A specialized spin in a centrifuge to concentrate your platelets.

Guided injection into the affected joint, disc, or soft tissue.

There’s no general anesthesia, no hospital stay, and minimal downtime. Some patients need more than one treatment depending on the condition, but many begin to feel relief in weeks, not months.

What to Expect After PRP

Because PRP is a regenerative therapy—not just a pain blocker—results are gradual and lasting. It’s common to feel a bit of soreness at first, but within a few weeks, many patients experience:

Reduced pain and stiffness

Improved mobility

Stronger function during daily activities

A noticeable difference in quality of life

PRP and the Future of Pain Care

We’re not just treating pain. We’re restoring possibility.

Whether you're an athlete sidelined by injury, a parent trying to stay active, or someone who’s been living with pain for years, PRP offers something rare in medicine today: healing that doesn’t rely on surgery or medication alone.
