PRP Therapy – How Does It Work?
At Oasis Pain Solutions, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is designed to support the body’s natural healing process using components from your own blood. Blood is made up mostly of plasma, along with red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. While platelets are well known for helping blood clot, they also contain powerful growth factors that play an important role in tissue repair and recovery.
PRP is created by concentrating platelets into a smaller amount of plasma, resulting in a solution that contains significantly higher levels of healing growth factors than normal blood. In many cases, the platelet concentration can be several times greater than what naturally circulates throughout the body, helping stimulate healing in damaged muscles, joints, tendons, and other soft tissues.
At Oasis Pain Solutions, PRP treatments may be performed with ultrasound guidance to improve injection accuracy and ensure the treatment is delivered directly to the targeted area for optimal results.At Oasis Pain Solutions, we specialize in interventional pain management treatments designed to target the source of your pain—not just mask the symptoms. Our goal is to help you recover fully and regain control of your life as quickly and safely as possible.
Why Do We Recommend PRP Therapy?
At Oasis Pain Solutions, we recommend PRP therapy because it offers a minimally invasive approach to helping the body heal naturally. By delivering a concentrated amount of healing platelets directly into damaged tissue, PRP therapy can help reduce pain, support tissue repair, and improve overall function.
This advanced treatment works by enhancing the body’s natural recovery process, which may help patients experience improved healing, reduced discomfort, and a quicker return to daily activities. PRP therapy is commonly used to address joint pain, tendon injuries, muscle strains, and other chronic or acute conditions without the need for surgery.
Which conditions can
be treated with PRP?
Clinical studies have shown that PRP therapy may help improve mobility, support tissue healing, and reduce pain associated with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. PRP treatment is commonly used for issues affecting the wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle, as well as certain tendon and joint-related conditions. Research has also shown encouraging results for patients dealing with osteoarthritis symptoms.
PRP therapy has gained recognition among professional athletes and active individuals because of its potential to support recovery from sports-related injuries and chronic tendon conditions. Traditionally, many of these injuries are treated with medication, physical therapy, or, in more severe cases, surgery. At Oasis Pain Solutions, PRP therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative that may help accelerate healing and improve recovery outcomes. In some cases, PRP may also be used to support the healing process after surgery or injury rehabilitation.
Which Parts of the Body Can Be Treated with PRP?

How many injections per treatment?
The number of injections necessary for the treatment to be considered successful and complete varies and it is ultimately decided on a case-by-case basis. The physician at Oasis Pain Solutions may use MRI or ultrasound results to determine the number of injections needed. In most cases, the physician will suggest between 1 to 3 injections.
Is PRP treatment with
no side effects?
The risks associated with PRP are also minimal; an increased pain at the injection site is sometimes unavoidable, but the incidence of any other post-injection-related problems such as infection, tissue damage, and nerve injuries appear to be no different from that associated with cortisone injections.
