PRP Therapy in St. Petersburg, FL —
your body's own healing factors, precisely delivered.
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy concentrates the growth factors already in your blood and places them exactly where healing is needed — a non-surgical, in-office option for joint pain, soft-tissue injuries, and hair restoration.
Where Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) makes a difference.
PRP works best for soft-tissue and joint conditions where your body's natural healing response needs a boost. Your provider will evaluate whether it's appropriate for you.
Knee Pain & Arthritis
Mild to moderate osteoarthritis, meniscal irritation, and patellar tendon issues — often delaying or avoiding more invasive procedures.
Shoulder & Hip Joints
Rotator cuff inflammation, labral irritation, hip bursitis, and other persistent joint discomfort that hasn't responded to conservative care.
Tendon & Ligament Injuries
Tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and partial ligament tears that have stalled out in the healing process.
Plantar Fasciitis
Stubborn heel pain that persists after stretching, orthotics, and steroid injections — PRP targets the chronic inflammation directly.
Sports Injuries
Muscle strains, overuse injuries, and slow-healing tissue damage in athletes who need to return to activity without compromising long-term function.
Hair Restoration
Scalp PRP injections to support hair density and slow thinning in men and women experiencing early-stage androgenic hair loss.
How PRP actually works.
A complete visit takes about an hour, uses only your own biology, and requires no general anesthesia or hospital stay.
- 01 A simple blood draw. A small sample is taken from your arm, the same way as a routine lab — usually 15 to 30 milliliters depending on the area being treated.
- 02 Concentration in our centrifuge. The sample is spun to separate and concentrate platelets and growth factors — the cellular signals your body uses to repair tissue.
- 03 Targeted injection. Your physician injects the concentrated plasma directly into the injured joint, tendon, or treatment area, often using ultrasound to confirm precise placement.
- 04 Recovery and follow-up. Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two and feel meaningful improvement over 4 to 6 weeks as healing progresses.
An honest conversation first.
PRP isn't right for every condition or every patient. Before recommending treatment, your physician will review your history, examine the area, and often look at imaging — to make sure PRP is genuinely the best next step.
When it is the right fit, we'll explain what the response typically looks like, how many sessions you may need (often one to three), and what to do in between to support healing. You'll leave understanding what was treated, why, and what to watch for.
Most insurance plans do not cover PRP, which is why we keep pricing transparent and discuss it openly during your consultation — before any treatment is scheduled.

It is a simple four-step, in-office process:
- Blood draw — a small sample (about 15 to 30 ml) from your arm, like a routine lab
