WHAT IS PRP?

Your body's own healing, concentrated.

At Southwest Spine we offer PRP therapy as a curative solution that uses your own blood cells to enhance recovery and rejuvenate damaged tissue. The high concentration of growth factors in PRP speeds up the body’s natural healing process, reducing pain and inflammation in the treated area.

THE PROCESS

How PRP Treatment Works

Blood Draw

We draw a small volume of your own blood — no donor materials, no synthetic drugs.

Centrifugation

The sample spins at high speed for about 10 minutes to concentrate the platelets.

Plasma Isolation

The platelet-rich middle layer — packed with growth factors — is drawn off and prepared.

Targeted Injection

The concentrated plasma is injected into the injured tissue to jump-start repair.
