Embrace Nature's Healing Power
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It's a medical treatment that involves injecting a concentration of a patient's own platelets into a specific area of the body, usually to accelerate healing or tissue regeneration. Platelets contain growth factors and other proteins that play a significant role in the body's natural healing process. When injected into injured or damaged tissue, PRP can potentially stimulate tissue repair and promote healing. It's commonly used in sports medicine for conditions like tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and muscle tears.

PRP Joint Injection Therapy
PRP joint injection therapy is offering new hope for individuals struggling with chronic joint pain, arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and sports-related conditions, especially for those who haven’t found relief with traditional treatments.
At Tailored To You, PRP joint injections are performed by Shelly and Darcie, who have received hands-on education and advanced training from the injector for the Minnesota Vikings. This training included real-life clinical scenarios and advanced techniques, giving our providers a deeper understanding of treatment precision, patient selection, and expected outcomes, and ultimately increasing confidence and safety in every injection we perform.
What is PRP joint injection therapy? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood and contains a high concentration of platelets rich in growth factors. These growth factors help attract stem cells and stimulate the body’s natural healing response, supporting tissue repair in joints, ligaments, and tendons.
PRP has been clinically shown to:
Reduce joint pain and inflammation
Improve mobility and function
Strengthen weakened or damaged ligaments and tendons
Support healing in arthritis and overuse injuries
The PRP is injected directly into the affected area: such as the joint capsule, tendon attachment site, or surrounding soft tissue, allowing targeted healing exactly where your body needs it.
Why choose PRP over steroid injections? If you’re experiencing limited relief from steroid injections, ongoing recovery issues, or are looking for a more natural option, PRP may be an excellent alternative. PRP is a safe, natural treatment that uses your body’s own healing components, meaning nothing foreign is introduced into your system. This often allows for improved healing without the potential long-term drawbacks associated with repeated steroid use.
Treatment plan & expectations:
Injections are typically spaced 30 days apart
Most patients require 2–3 treatments for optimal results
