At our practice, we are always looking for ways to bridge the gap between traditional primary care and advanced specialist treatments. That is why we are proud to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy—a cutting-edge, non-surgical option for patients struggling with chronic joint pain, tendonitis, and other injuries.

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma is a form of regenerative medicine that utilizes your body’s own natural healing cells to repair damaged tissue. Your blood is primarily composed of plasma, but it also contains small components called platelets. While platelets are famous for clotting blood, they are also powerful growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration in the treated area.

What Sets Our PRP Program Apart?

1. Higher Concentration for Better Outcomes

The effectiveness of PRP is directly tied to the dose of platelets delivered to the injury. Many standard systems produce a low-concentration PRP that may not provide enough stimulus for healing.

Our advanced system yields an average of 10.8 billion platelets per sample.

• Why this matters: Research suggests that a higher concentration of platelets leads to a more robust release of growth factors. By delivering 10.8 billion platelets directly to the site of pain, we are maximizing the biological "signal" sent to your body to repair tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.

2. Precision Under Ultrasound Guidance

Many clinics perform "blind" injections, relying on physical landmarks to guess where the needle should go. However, a few millimeters can be the difference between a successful treatment and an ineffective one.

I perform every PRP procedure using real-time ultrasound guidance. This allows me to:

• Visualize the exact area of damage.

• Watch the PRP enter the specific joint space or tendon/ligament.

• Ensure the highest level of safety and accuracy, avoiding blood vessels and other important adjacent structures in the area that is being injected.

3. Great Value and Competitive Pricing

Regenerative medicine is often a significant out-of-pocket investment because it is not typically covered by insurance. While many orthopedic specialty offices in the area charge between $900 and $1,200 for injections, we have structured our pricing to be highly competitive—often ranging from $675 to $750 per session… Even less when sessions are bundled. 

When you consider that this price includes ultrasound guidance and a high-concentration kit, our practice offers some of the best value for regenerative care in Howard County.

4. Continuity of Care

The biggest advantage of receiving PRP here is that you stay with the provider who already knows your medical history. You receive treatment in a familiar environment. We integrate your PRP recovery into your overall wellness plan and long-term health goals.
