Heal Smarter with Your Own Body’s Regenerative Power
PRP injection is a state-of-the-art regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to jumpstart the body’s natural healing process. By concentrating platelets from a small blood sample and injecting them into injured or inflamed areas, PRP stimulates tissue repair and reduces inflammation naturally.
Platelets are rich in growth factors and proteins that promote the healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. This means you can recover from chronic injuries without surgery or long-term medication.
Conditions PRP Can Help:
- Chronic plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinitis
- Ligament and tendon injuries
- Mild to moderate arthritis
- Heel pain and overuse injuries
Why Choose PRP at Put Your Feet First by Dr. Mark Forman in Scottdale, AZ:
- Minimally invasive, in-office procedure
- Natural and low-risk treatment
- Little to no downtime
- Personalized care as part of your full treatment plan
FAQs
How is PRP different from steroid injections?
PRP promotes healing and tissue repair, while steroids mainly reduce inflammation and may weaken soft tissue over time.
Are PRP injections safe?
Yes. PRP uses your own blood, which greatly reduces the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It is considered safe and minimally invasive when performed by trained medical professionals.
Do PRP injections hurt?
Some patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the injection, which is temporary. Dr. Mark Forman administers lidocaine first for anesthesia purposes, so you won’t feel the PRP being injected. Most patients find the procedure very tolerable, and any minor soreness typically resolves quickly.
How long does PRP treatment take?
PRP injections are usually completed in a single office visit, often within 20-30 minutes, including preparation.
How long does it take to see results from PRP?
Healing is gradual. Many patients notice improvement within 4-6 weeks, with continued progress over several months as tissue repairs.
Is there downtime after PRP injections?
There may be short-term soreness or activity modification for a few days. Most patients return to normal daily activities quickly.
How many PRP treatments are needed?
Some patients benefit from one injection, while others may require multiple treatments depending on the condition and severity.
Who is a good candidate for PRP therapy?
PRP is ideal for patients with chronic injuries, tendon or ligament damage, or those looking for a non-surgical treatment option.
