Why PRP

A regenerative option guided by precision

PRP therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood that contains growth factors and signaling proteins. When placed with ultrasound-guided precision, it can support the body’s natural healing response in injured or overworked tissue.

Physician-led treatment

Every evaluation and injection is performed with a focus on diagnosis, candidacy, and individualized planning.

Ultrasound-guided accuracy

Real-time imaging helps target the intended structure with greater confidence and clinical precision.

Best For

Common reasons patients consider PRP

Joint pain support

PRP may be considered for select knee, shoulder, hip, or other joint concerns when conservative care is appropriate.

Tendon and ligament issues

It is often discussed for chronic overuse conditions involving tendons or soft tissue structures that need a thoughtful recovery plan.

Active lifestyle goals

Athletes and everyday patients alike may choose PRP when they want a non-surgical path focused on recovery and function.

Process

What to expect

Your PRP experience is designed to be clear, physician-led, and tailored to your goals from first consultation through follow-up.

1. Consultation and exam

We review your history, symptoms, activity demands, and prior treatment to determine whether PRP is a reasonable fit.

2. Imaging and planning

Musculoskeletal ultrasound helps confirm the target area and guides a more precise treatment plan.

3. PRP procedure

A sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets, then injected with ultrasound guidance into the selected area.

4. Recovery guidance

You receive practical next steps for activity modification, healing timelines, and follow-up based on your condition.

If you are dealing with joint pain, soft tissue injury, or delayed recovery, schedule a consultation with Summit Orthobiologics to discuss your goals and options.
