PRP: Your Body’s Natural Healing Response
One of our most versatile in-office orthobiologic treatments is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy, a procedure that taps into your body’s natural healing powers—specifically your own platelets—to promote your body’s natural healing response and reduce discomfort. If you’re dealing with stubborn knee pain, shoulder injuries from sports, or nagging elbow tendonitis, PRP may be a key treatment option for you, We’re proud to offer these, serving patients in Henderson, Summerlin, and beyond, as well.

The healing
power of platelets
in orthopedic care
Platelets help your body rebuild,
repair, and regenerate.
Platelets are components of our blood that help form clots when we have cuts or are bleeding. They also contain growth factors, or small proteins that aid in the healing process. In orthopedics, we use platelets to enhance recovery, improve outcomes, and accelerate your body’s natural healing processes.
What Is PRP?
PRP stands for “Platelet-Rich Plasma,” and it’s essentially a concentrated dose of your body’s own platelets.

Why it’s effective

Safe & Natural
It’s autologous (meaning it comes from your own body), so there’s no risk of rejection or serious adverse reactions.
How Does Protein Concentrate Fit In?
In addition to traditional PRP, we may recommend a “protein concentrate” (sometimes called “plasma concentrate”). This is essentially a more refined version of PRP, created by filtering and processing the leftover plasma after the PRP is processed.
