Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Colville

Harness your body's natural healing abilities with PRP Therapy.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a natural way to promote healing from within. This innovative therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood—rich in platelets and growth factors—to stimulate the body's repair process in areas of injury or inflammation.

Originally discovered through research into how the body reacts to its own blood components, PRP therapy has become a trusted method among professional athletes to accelerate recovery from injuries like sprained knees, chronic tendon issues, shoulder strains, and elbow conditions. Traditionally, these injuries are treated with medications, physical therapy, or surgery, but PRP has helped many return to activity faster by enhancing the body's ability to heal itself.

Unlike anti-inflammatories or narcotics, PRP does not mask pain—it works directly with your body's natural systems. PRP therapy taps into your innate healing power to support long-term recovery by concentrating and reintroducing your own platelets into the injured area.

Conditions That May Benefit from PRP Therapy

At Monumental Health and Wellness in Colville, we use PRP therapy to help patients with a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Chronic tendonitis
• vTennis elbow or golfer's elbow
• Rotator cuff injuries or tears
• Joint pain and stiffness from arthritis
• Ligament or muscle injuries

Patients often report reduced pain and improved function following PRP therapy. In some cases, even tendon tears have shown signs of healing. Individuals with arthritis may find exceptionally positive results when PRP is initiated early in the progression of the condition. We typically recommend a period of relative rest during the first two weeks post-injection to support optimal healing.

How PRP Therapy Works

The PRP process is straightforward and minimally invasive:

1. Initial Evaluation – During your appointment, we assess the area of pain or injury.
2. Blood Draw – A small amount of your blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge.
3. Platelet Concentration – The centrifuge separates and concentrates the platelets, increasing their healing potential.
4. Ultrasound Guidance – Our doctors use ultrasound to locate the precise area of injury or degeneration.
5. Injection – The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into the affected area under image guidance to ensure accuracy.

Once injected, the platelets release growth factors that promote cell repair and tissue regeneration. This therapy essentially "reboots" your body's natural healing response—using your own cells without the risk of rejection.
