What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

PRP therapy is a natural regenerative medicine treatment that uses your own blood to support healing and reduce pain.

Your blood contains platelets, which are not only important for clotting but also full of healing proteins called growth factors.

During the PRP treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn, and the platelets are separated and concentrated.

This rich solution is then injected into areas like joints, muscles, or tendons to help speed up recovery and support tissue repair—especially helpful for injuries or chronic pain.

How Successful Is PRP therapy?

PRP therapy has been used for decades around the world and is now gaining popularity in the U.S.—especially among athletes and active individuals looking to recover from injuries without surgery.

According to a recent PRP study posted in the National Library of Medicine, “PRP is a promising conservative treatment modality for a variety of conditions with healing and regenerative capabilities and clear evidence of safety.”

Instead of just masking pain like a typical injection, PRP therapy actually helps heal the root of the problem – a philosophy we wholeheartedly believe in at Allied Wellness Centers in Waco.

Many people find lasting relief from this regenerative treatment and can return to their usual activities with little to no pain.

We offer a free consultation for our regenerative treatments, which also includes stem cell injections, to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for a PRP injection.

What can be Treated With PRP Therapy?

Examples of tissues that PRP injections can be used on include:

Tendonitis
Ligaments
Muscles
Arthritis
Bursitis
Rotator cuff tears
Sprains
Strains

Conventional osteoarthritis treatments often offer only short-term relief and can come with negative side effects.

Cortisone Injections

Cortisone injections can reduce pain temporarily, but repeated use can cause joints to degenerate even faster and put you at increased risk for injuries.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy can help strengthen surrounding muscles around the joint and is a worthy treatment for some, but it will never be able to make the joint less arthritic.

Viscosupplementation

May be a viable option for some patients to slow the degenerative process but are not regenerative in nature and often require repeat procedures.

Joint Replacement Surgery

Contains many significant risks including blood clots, permanent scarring, failure of the implant, and poor long-term outcomes. It also requires extensive downtime and time-consuming post-surgical rehabilitation.

What Is PRP?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to jumpstart healing in injured joints, tendons, and muscles.

By concentrating growth factors in your blood, PRP promotes stronger tissue repair and a more natural recovery.

At Allied Wellness Centers, PRP is part of our suite of regenerative treatments, which includes stem cell injections. We are the most experienced providers of regenerative medicine in the Waco, TX area.

Does PRP Work?

Yes, and this is backed by research.

Studies show PRP can help reduce pain and improve function in conditions like osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and joint degeneration (for example, a 2019 PRP study published in the National Library of Medicine found significant improvement in tendon healing for knee osteoarthritis for sport-active patients).

Results can vary depending on the condition and your body, but many of our patients notice meaningful improvement within a few weeks.

We often combine PRP with therapies like piezowave therapy, massage therapy, or chiropractic adjustments for optimal outcomes.

Do PRP Injections Hurt?

Most patients feel only mild discomfort during the injection, similar to a quick pinch or pressure.

We take every precaution to make the experience as comfortable as possible, often using numbing agents or ice.

Many patients describe the procedure as tolerable and are pleasantly surprised at how brief it is.

How Long Does PRP Last?

PRP isn’t a permanent fix, but many patients enjoy lasting relief for several months to over a year, depending on the area treated and the severity of the condition.

If your injury is severe enough, a stem cell injection could be a better solution for you.

They are more expensive, but offer more long-term potential for healing than PRP.

If you don’t want to opt for a stem cell injection, we offer many other pain management services, like Class IV laser therapy, spinal decompression and physical therapy modalities that can help successfully manage your pain as flare-ups occur.

How Much Does PRP Cost?

PRP pricing can vary depending on the number of areas treated and the complexity of the procedure.

A good price range for a PRP injection is $500-$2,000, according to Medical News Today.

Most patients consider PRP a worthwhile investment. Unlike surgery, it’s minimally invasive and less costly, and it can help your body heal naturally rather than simply masking pain with medications, which can carry risks with long-term use.

We provide transparent pricing during your free consultation, so you are fully aware of the cost of PRP.

Is PRP Covered By Insurance?

PRP is generally considered a regenerative or elective procedure, so most insurance plans do not cover it.

That said, we can help you explore financing options or packages to make it more accessible.

Many patients find that combining PRP with our other therapies, which can be covered by insurance, such as chiropractic care or massage, helps them achieve comprehensive pain relief without unexpected costs.
