At Berks Ortho, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy — a regenerative treatment designed to help your body heal itself.

A natural option, benefits of PRP include:
• Fewer side effects – since PRP is made from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or complications is very low
• Targeted relief – injected directly into the injured area to stimulate healing at the cellular level
• Limited downtime – PRP is minimally invasive, and most patients return to normal activity the next day.
