Heal yourself—with your own cells.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical option to support recovery and reduce pain, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may be a fit. PRP uses a small sample of your own blood to concentrate platelets and place them precisely where your body needs extra support.
PRP therapy is a regenerative medicine technique used in orthopedics to support the body’s natural healing response. Your body already sends platelets to areas of injury—PRP helps harness and concentrate those platelets so they can be delivered directly to the targeted area. Your procedure will be provided by Dr. Wildstein, a board-certified Orthopedic Surgeon— never by a nurse or physician’s assistant.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
When tissue is injured, your body initiates a natural repair process. Platelets and other blood components migrate to the area to help coordinate healing. PRP injections use a concentrated portion of your own platelets, placed precisely at the site of concern, to support that healing cascade.
Why patients choose PRP
PRP is often selected because it’s:
Natural and organic (derived from your own body)
Non-invasive (a simple blood draw + injection)
Designed to help you get back to doing what you love
Typically a quick procedure and widely accessible to many patients
PRP and Cell-based "Stem Cell" treatments of the knee, shoulder & hip are a covered expense in Flex & Health Saving Accounts
What to expect during PRP treatment
Blood draw: We take a small sample of your blood.
Centrifuge separation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate plasma and concentrate platelets. The process typically takes about 15–20 minutes.
Targeted placement: The PRP is injected into the area being treated so the concentrated platelets can begin signaling and supporting your healing response.
From you, for you. ONLY BY A BOARD-CERTIFIED Surgeon.
Number of visits
The exact number of PRP visits varies by patient and condition. Some people notice improvement after a single PRP visit, while others may need multiple treatments. Dr. Wildstein will recommend a plan tailored to your needs.
Results may vary
PRP outcomes depend on your diagnosis, overall health, and your physician’s treatment plan. Many patients report meaningful improvement over time, and your doctor can guide you on expected timelines and what to watch for as the healing process continues.
In some cases, PRP may help reduce the need for additional invasive treatments or prolonged medication use—your physician can advise you based on your specific situation.
Conditions We Evaluate for PRP
