Non-Surgical PRP Therapy
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) THERAPY FOR SCOTTSDALE & PHOENIX AREA
Serving patients in the Greater Phoenix, AZ community
PRP (platelet–rich plasma) therapy is a non-surgical medical procedure used to treat a variety of common conditions. It involves taking a sample of the patient’s own blood and concentrating the platelets in it by spinning it in a centrifuge. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the affected area to help promote healing and regeneration. This therapy has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and joint and muscle pain. The platelets contain proteins that help to stimulate the healing process, and the concentrated platelets are believed to have anti–inflammatory and regenerative effects.

“The entire experience from scheduling an appointment to walking out the door was fantastic. You really get the sense that this is a world class practice. They made me feel welcomed and did not rush through the visit. He, and his PA, answered all my questions and ensured I understood the prognosis and all possible directions of care moving forward. I’m very happy we came across SPS.”

What is a common PRP therapy treatment plan?
Everyone is different, and our patients needs are unique based on their goal for treatment. A common PRP therapy treatment plan usually involves a series of injections, usually three to four, spaced out over a period of several weeks. The exact number of injections and the frequency of the injections will depend on the patient’s condition and the severity of their symptoms. Some patients may require additional injections after the initial series. Consult with Sonoran Pain & Spine or another certified specialist in the area to find a PRP therapy plan thats right for you.
