Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Granite State Pain Associates is the leading choice for PRP therapy in New Hampshire.
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that harnesses the healing power of your blood’s platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue repair and recovery. By concentrating these platelets and injecting them directly into the injured or painful area, PRP therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing process. This can help to accelerate healing in tendons, muscles, ligaments, and even joints.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw. Once your blood is collected, it is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted area. The growth factors within the PRP promote cellular regeneration, boost healing, and decrease inflammation, which can result in reduced pain and enhanced recovery.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
- Natural Healing: Uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate repair without relying on synthetic medications or surgery.
- Accelerated Recovery: Promotes faster healing for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis, ligament injuries, and arthritis.
- Minimally Invasive: A non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime, allowing you to get back to your daily activities sooner.
- Long-lasting Results: PRP therapy supports sustained healing and recovery, potentially reducing the need for more aggressive treatments.
PRP therapy is a versatile treatment option used to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. By harnessing your body’s natural healing abilities, PRP can help reduce pain and promote recovery from the following conditions:
Tendonitis & Tendon Injuries
Common in athletes and active individuals, conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and Achilles tendonitis can benefit from PRP therapy by reducing inflammation and accelerating tissue repair.
Ligament Sprains & Tears
PRP injections can aid in the recovery of ligament injuries, such as ACL sprains or MCL tears, by promoting faster and more complete healing.
Plantar Fasciitis
Individuals suffering from chronic foot pain caused by plantar fasciitis can benefit from PRP therapy to alleviate inflammation and repair damaged tissues.
Sports Injuries
From ligament injuries to overuse conditions, athletes can use PRP therapy to accelerate recovery from sports-related injuries and return to peak performance.

After the initial blood draw and processing, the PRP is injected into the targeted area using ultrasound guidance for precision. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure.
