PRP Therapy (Platelet‑Rich Plasma)

Concentrated platelets (3–5×) deliver PDGF, TGF‑β, VEGF, IGF‑1 to restart stalled healing.

How PRP Work

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP concentrates your own platelets to 3–5× baseline and delivers a high dose of growth factors (PDGF, TGF‑β, VEGF, IGF‑1) directly to injured tissue, accelerating natural repair.

Clinical evidence shows faster tissue repair and improved outcomes versus conventional care.

Key mechanisms

  • PDGF: collagen synthesis & cell proliferation
  • TGF‑β: matrix rebuilding & remodeling
  • VEGF: angiogenesis for nutrient delivery
  • IGF‑1: repair support for tendon & cartilage

Delivery: ultrasound‑guided injection into tendons, ligaments, or joint spaces.

Common Applications

Best for chronic conditions (> 3 months) where inflammation has subsided but healing remains incomplete.

Joint degeneration (Grade 1–3)

Mild–moderate osteoarthritis needing biologic repair stimulus.

  • Knee OA
  • Hip OA
  • Shoulder OA

Chronic tendinopathies

Restart healing where it plateaued.

  • Tennis/golfer’s elbow
  • Achilles tendinitis
  • Patellar tendinitis

Overuse injuries

Targets degenerative tendon changes from repetitive load.

 

  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Jumper’s knee

Persistent pain

Addresses degenerative tissue quality, not just pain.

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Chronic ligament laxity

Spinal conditions

Guided injections to reduce pain and improve function.

  • Facet arthritis
  • SI joint dysfunction

Limitations of Standard Treatment

Conventional options manage symptoms rather than activate regeneration.

NSAIDs and pain medications

Provide temporary relief without promoting tissue repair. Long-term use may inhibit natural healing and carries gastrointestinal/ cardiovascular risks.

Corticosteroid injections

Offer rapid but short-lived relief. Repeated use can accelerate cartilage breakdown and weaken tendons, potentially leading to rupture.

Physical therapy alone

Maintains function but cannot regenerate damaged cartilage or repair degenerative tendon tissue.

Hyaluronic acid injections

Provide mechanical lubrication but don't stimulate actual tissue healing.

Why this matters

Conventional treatments manage symptoms rather than activating regenerative capacity, often resulting in progressive decline toward surgery.

BRC’s Regenerative Solutions

PRP jumpstarts the body’s healing cascade through three coordinated mechanisms.

Concentrated growth factor delivery:

  • PDGF stimulates collagen production and cellular proliferation
  • TGF-β promotes tissue remodeling and matrix synthesis
  • VEGF triggers new blood vessel formation for improved nutrient delivery
  • Platelet concentration 3-5x above normal delivers therapeutic doses

Anti‑inflammatory modulation:

  • Releases anti-inflammatory cytokines creating optimal healing environment
  • Reduces chronic low-grade inflammation that inhibits repair
  • Unlike corticosteroids, promotes healing rather than suppressing it

Cellular activation:

  • Recruits local stem cells and progenitor cells to injury site
  • Stimulates fibroblasts and chondrocytes to produce new tissue
  • Enhances cell-to-cell communication for coordinated repair

PRP vs. other therapies:

Immediate growth factor release (~7–10 days) is ideal for chronic conditions needing activation; generally more cost‑effective than PRGF or Growth Factor Concentrate for most MSK cases.

Delivery method: ultrasound‑guided injection into tendons, ligaments, or joint spaces. Growth factors peak within 7–10 days, catalyzing a healing response that continues for months. Studies report 70–85% meaningful improvement lasting 12–24 months.

Treatment Process & Expected Outcomes

Blood draw (30–60 mL)

Collected into specialized kits for processing.

Centrifugation & prep

Concentrates platelets in our certified lab for injection.

Ultrasound‑guided injection

Precise placement into affected tissue under local anesthesia.

Total time: ~15–30 minutes.

Pain

  • VAS 7–9/10 → 2–4/10
  • Reduced need for pain meds

Timeline

  • 1–3 treatments, 2–4 weeks apart
  • Initial gains in 2–4 weeks; continue 2–3 months

Function

  • WOMAC +30–50%
  • Improved ROM & activity tolerance

Durability

  • Benefits 12–24 months
  • Many avoid/delay surgery

Which Regenerative Option Fits Your Case?

Match condition type with the appropriate therapy.

PRP

Choose PRP when:

  • Chronic condition (>3 months)
  • Mild–moderate joint degeneration (Grade 1–3)
  • Persistent tendinopathy after conservative care
  • Cost‑effective regenerative option
  • Proven track record for your condition

PRGF

Choose PRGF when:

  • Acute injuries (>6 weeks)
  • Post‑surgical healing requiring gentle, sustained release
  • Inflammation‑sensitive tissues

GF

Choose Growth Factor when:

  • Maximum regenerative power for complex wounds
  • Aesthetic rejuvenation or hair restoration
  • Unresponsive to standard PRP/PRGF

MSCs

Choose Stem Cell when:

  • Systemic conditions (diabetes, autoimmune, organ dysfunction)
  • Need cellular replacement + immune modulation
