PRP has been getting a lot of attention lately — but what exactly is it, and could it help you recover faster?
💉 Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to support healing and tissue repair.
As Dr. Hadi Shah explains in this video, PRP is created by drawing a small sample of your blood, concentrating the platelets, and precisely delivering them to areas that need support. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that help stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
PRP is commonly used to support recovery for conditions affecting tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, including:
• Tendon injuries (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Patellar or Achilles tendinopathy
• Mild to moderate joint arthritis
• Chronic ligament sprains or persistent soft tissue injuries
For more complex cases, our physicians may utilize advanced regenerative approaches, such as PRP combined with specialized protein concentrates, to further support tissue healing and joint health.
At The Performance Lab, our physicians integrate regenerative medicine with advanced diagnostics and performance-based rehabilitation to help patients recover more efficiently and return to the activities they love.
