Not all PRP is created equal.
When it comes to PRP therapy, the quality of your platelets matters just as much as the procedure itself. High-quality platelets contain more concentrated growth factors—the key ingredients your body uses to reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and support long-term healing.
In this video, Dr. Tolbert explains what makes a “high-quality” PRP sample, how we measure it, and why poor-quality platelets may lead to disappointing results.

What if your body already had the power to heal itself—without surgery or pills?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is changing how we treat chronic pain and injuries. By using a small sample of your own blood, we concentrate your body’s natural growth factors to accelerate healing in joints, tendons, and soft tissue.
In this video, Dr. Tolbert breaks down exactly what PRP is, how it works, and why so many patients are choosing it as a non-surgical solution for pain relief and recovery.
If you've been living with pain or limited mobility, PRP may be the option you've been waiting for.
Have you ever wondered why therapy for chronic pain is so important? Dr. Videau explains how it works and why we use it at our center.
