Heal Naturally with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Regenerative injection therapy that uses your body’s own platelets to repair tissue, reduce pain, and restore strength — without surgery.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body’s natural growth factors to accelerate healing and tissue repair.
A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then re-injected into the area of pain or injury.
The high concentration of platelets releases growth factors that signal your body to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate new collagen and cell growth.
At Hawaii Wellness Clinic, all PRP injections are performed using ultrasound visualization to ensure accuracy, safety, and optimal results.
What PRP Helps Treat
PRP therapy is commonly used for:
- Joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, and elbow)
- Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
- Tendon injuries such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff tears
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains
- Chronic inflammation or post-surgical recovery
- Soft tissue injuries and scar tissue
Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Uses your body’s natural healing ability
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Supports long-term joint health
- Improves mobility and flexibility
- No surgery or medications required
- Minimal downtime
Most patients experience gradual improvement in pain and function as the body continues healing over several weeks.
How the Procedure Works
- Consultation and Preparation – Your provider evaluates the condition and identifies treatment areas using ultrasound.
- Blood Collection – A small blood sample is drawn from your arm.
- Centrifuge Processing – The sample is spun to separate platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
- Injection – The concentrated PRP is injected into the affected area under ultrasound guidance.
- Recovery – You can return to daily activities immediately, with improvement developing over time.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and is performed in-office.

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Most patients resume work or light activity the same day, with minimal downtime.
Is the injection painful?
You may feel mild pressure or soreness at the injection site, but discomfort is brief and manageable.
