Walk-ins welcome

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated dose of your own platelets to support your body's natural healing response in injured joints, tendons, and muscles.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelets are the cells in your blood that start the healing process after an injury. A PRP treatment begins with a simple blood draw in our office. Your blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, and that concentrated plasma is injected precisely into the injured area.

Because PRP is made from your own blood, there is nothing synthetic in the injection itself, and the risk of an allergic reaction is very low.

What PRP May Help With

PRP is most commonly used for orthopedic problems such as knee osteoarthritis, tendon injuries like tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy, shoulder pain, and chronic muscle strains that have not improved with rest and conservative care.

[Confirm with the practice: which conditions they actually treat with PRP. The list above covers the usual joint and tendon cases from the videos they shared. Also worth asking if they plan to offer PRP for hair restoration or aesthetics.]

What to Expect at Your Visit

Before your appointment

Most patients are asked to avoid anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen for several days before treatment, since they can blunt the platelet response. We will review your medications and give you specific instructions when you book.

During the injection

The full visit usually takes under an hour: a blood draw, a short wait while the plasma is prepared, and the injection itself. Most patients describe pressure or brief soreness rather than sharp pain.

Aftercare and recovery

Mild soreness or swelling at the injection site for a few days is normal and expected. We will give you a written aftercare plan, including when to ease back into activity and which medicines to avoid while the treatment takes effect.

Insurance and Cost

[Confirm with the practice: insurers usually treat PRP as elective, so it tends to be self-pay. We still need their price per session and whether they offer packages or financing.]

Call us at 678-257-5182 and we will walk you through the cost before you commit to anything.

Why Choose Bowdon Family Medicine for PRP

You will be treated in the same independently owned office that has cared for Bowdon families since 2013. There is no referral to a distant specialty clinic, and the provider who treats you already knows your history.

[Confirm with the practice: who performs the PRP injections (the physician, the nurse practitioner, or both) and any training or certification worth naming here.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP safe?

PRP is prepared from your own blood, so the risk of allergic reaction is very low. As with any injection there is a small risk of soreness, bruising, or infection at the injection site, which we will review with you before treatment.

Does insurance cover PRP?

[Confirm with the practice before publishing: most insurers consider PRP elective, so the usual answer here is self-pay.] Call 678-257-5182 and our staff will go over the cost with you up front.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends on the condition being treated. [Confirm the typical plan with the practice. Many clinics recommend 1 to 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.] Your provider will recommend a plan at your evaluation.

When will I feel a difference?

PRP works with your body's own healing process, so improvement is gradual. Many patients notice change over a period of weeks rather than days, and soreness in the first few days after the injection is normal.
