PRP Injection Therapy for Joint Repair

Effective treatment for pain relief and healing.

PRP Injection Therapy for Joint Repair

At Optimum Wellness Functional Medicine Center in Hicksville, Long Island, we provide advanced PRP Injection Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy) — a regenerative, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to repair joints, reduce pain, and restore mobility.

If you suffer from knee pain, shoulder pain, tendon injuries, or osteoarthritis, PRP therapy offers a safe, natural alternative to steroids or surgery — with real, lasting results.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that harnesses your body’s own blood to accelerate healing.
A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to separate growth-factor-rich plasma, and then injected directly into the injured or inflamed area.

These growth factors stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance natural regeneration — helping your body heal itself from the inside out.

PRP for Joint Pain and Injury Recovery
  • At Optimum Wellness, PRP injections are most commonly used to treat:

    • Knee osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration

    • Shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff tears

    • Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and tendonitis

    • Ligament and soft tissue injuries from sports or overuse

    • Chronic joint pain unresponsive to traditional therapy

    Whether your goal is to walk pain-free, play sports again, or simply regain everyday comfort — PRP can help restore your mobility naturally.

Benefits of PRP Therapy
  • 100% natural — made from your own blood

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive

  • Reduces pain and inflammation

  • Stimulates cartilage and tissue regeneration

  • Improves joint function and flexibility

  • Fast procedure (under 1 hour) with minimal downtime

Many patients report noticeable improvement after just one session, with continued healing over the following weeks and months.

How PRP Treatment Works
  • Consultation & Evaluation – Your provider assesses your condition and determines if PRP is right for you.

  • Blood Draw & Preparation – A small blood sample is processed to concentrate platelets and healing factors.

  • Targeted Injection – Using ultrasound or image guidance, PRP is precisely injected into the affected area.

  • Recovery & Results – The healing process begins immediately; full benefits build over time as tissue regenerates.

Each treatment takes about 45–60 minutes.
Depending on the condition, most patients require 1–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
You may experience mild soreness for a few days as your body begins the natural healing process.
