PRP Therapy for Joint, Tendon, and Soft Tissue Conditions
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses a concentrated portion of a patient’s own blood to support tissue health and recovery in joints, tendons, ligaments, and select musculoskeletal conditions.
At Motionis Medicine, PRP therapy is offered as part of a physician-led, evidence-aware approach to non-surgical orthopedic care, following accurate diagnosis and careful patient selection.
WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?
PRP is prepared by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and processing it to concentrate platelets and growth-factor-rich components. These platelets are then injected into a targeted area using image guidance.
Support tissue healing responses
Address pain associated with degeneration or injury
Improve function and activity tolerance
Complement rehabilitation and recovery
CONDITIONS WHERE PRP THERAPY MAY BE CONSIDERED
PRP therapy may be considered for selected patients with conditions such as:
Knee Arthritis
Knee Pain
Shoulder Pain
rotator cuff or labral-related
Hip Pain
Elbow Pain
tendon-related
Wrist & Hand Pain
Ankle & Foot Pain
Chronic Tendon or Ligament Injuries
PRP is typically considered when conservative care such as physical therapy or medications has not provided sufficient improvement.
HOW PRP THERAPY IS PERFORMED
PRP therapy is performed as an outpatient procedure using image guidance for precision.
Blood Collection
A small blood sample is drawn
Processing
The sample is processed to concentrate platelets
Image Guidance
The target joint or tissue is identified using ultrasound or fluoroscopy
Injection
PRP is injected precisely into the selected area
Monitoring
Patients are briefly monitored before returning home
HOW PRP THERAPY FITS INTO PAIN MANAGEMENT
PRP therapy is used when the goal is to support tissue health and functional recovery, rather than provide short-term symptom suppression alone.
Degeneration or Overuse
PRP may be considered when pain is related to degenerative or overuse changes in tissues.
Deferred Surgery
It is a potential option when surgery is being deferred or avoided.
Preservation priority
Ideal for patients where long-term joint or tendon preservation is a priority.
IMAGE GUIDANCE & PRECISION
PRP injections are performed using image guidance to:
Deliver treatment directly to the intended tissue
Avoid surrounding nerves, vessels, or structures
Improve consistency and procedural accuracy
Precise placement is essential for PRP therapy, particularly in joints and soft tissues.

RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS
Response to PRP therapy varies based on:
The condition being treated
Severity and chronicity of symptoms
Individual healing response
Schedule a PRP Therapy Evaluation
If joint or soft-tissue pain is limiting your ability to stay active, a comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether PRP therapy may be appropriate as part of your care plan.
