PRP for Pain: Targeted Regenerative Treatment
Soulera Medspa
Regenerative PRP Injections for Joint & Tendon Pain
At Soulera Medspa, we offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for knee and shoulder pain caused by tendon injuries, partial rotator cuff tears, mild to moderate arthritis, ligament sprains, and overuse conditions like tendonitis. PRP works by delivering a concentrated dose of your body’s own growth factors directly to the injured area, stimulating tissue repair at the cellular level. This promotes true healing, not just temporary relief, by reducing inflammation, encouraging regeneration, and supporting long-term joint health so you can stay active without surgery.
CMC Joint (Thumb Pain / Thumb Arthritis)
PRP is injected directly into the carpometacarpal joint, where it helps calm chronic inflammation and supports cartilage-producing cells. Patients often notice improved pinch strength, better grip, and a reduction in the grinding pain that flares during daily tasks.
AC Joint (Top of Shoulder Pain)
The acromioclavicular joint is prone to irritation from overuse, workouts, or old injuries. PRP helps reduce inflammation in the joint capsule and surrounding ligaments, improving overhead movement and decreasing sharp, pinpoint pain at the top of the shoulder.
Rotator Cuff (Tendon Pain & Partial Tears)
PRP placed along the damaged rotator cuff tendon stimulates collagen remodeling and tendon repair. This can ease chronic aching, improve shoulder mobility, and support healing in partial-thickness tears that haven’t responded to rest or physical therapy.
Achilles Tendon (Tendinopathy)
Chronic Achilles pain often involves micro-tears and thickened tendon tissue. PRP enhances tenocyte (tendon cell) activity, helping the tendon repair and regain its elasticity. Many patients notice less morning stiffness and improved comfort with walking or exercise.
Plantar Fasciitis (Heel & Arch Pain)
PRP targets the inflamed plantar fascia where repetitive stress has caused microscopic damage. The growth factors help the tissue heal, reducing the stabbing pain on first steps in the morning and improving long-term foot function.
Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis & Soft-Tissue Injury)
PRP injected into the knee joint calms synovial inflammation and supports cartilage health. It may also assist in healing surrounding tendons. Patients often experience smoother movement, less swelling, and improved comfort on stairs and longer walks.
The Experience
Your PRP treatment is designed to be comfortable and supportive, with most clients describing the experience as quick, focused, and empowering on their path to healing.
Procedure Overview:
Consultation
At Soulera Medspa, every PRP treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation. During this visit, we take the time to understand your specific knee or shoulder concerns, review your medical history, and assess whether PRP therapy is the right option for you. This is also the time to ask questions and learn how PRP can help reduce pain and support true healing.
Preparation
The preparation is simple and precise. A small amount of your blood is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge for a double-spin process, which helps separate and concentrate the platelets more effectively. This method yields the highest quality PRP, rich in growth factors, the natural proteins that stimulate repair and regeneration in injured tissue.
Application
After preparation with the double-spin technique, the concentrated PRP is injected directly into the painful or injured area of your knee or shoulder. This precise placement delivers growth factors exactly where they’re needed to stimulate repair, with most patients describing the treatment as quick and manageable.
Treatment Duration
The entire visit typically lasts 45-60 minutes, with the injection itself taking only a few minutes. Because the blood draw, preparation, and injection are all completed in one appointment, there is no need for extended downtime in the clinic.
Post-Treatment Care
Some soreness or stiffness is normal after PRP, but most patients return to daily activities right away. We provide simple aftercare instructions, including avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days to support the healing process.
Results
PRP results build gradually as the concentrated growth factors stimulate true healing. With our double-spin technique, patients often notice steady improvement in pain, mobility, and joint function over several weeks, with benefits that can last months to years.
