Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections Q & A
Where Does Platelet Rich Plasma for PRP Injections Come From?
For sourcing platelet rich plasma for PRP injections, Dr. Gootzeit uses your blood. This serves to ensure you won’t have a negative reaction to the injections. However, it also gives your body the greatest chance to regenerate healing and growth since your blood contains your DNA. This blood is spun in a centrifuge machine, which separates the concentrated platelets from your red blood cells. We then take that concentrated PRP and inject it using an ultrasound machine for the most accurate application. The PRP injections are done in or around the area that is injured or diseased within your body.

Dr. Gootzeit does numb the area of the injection with local anesthesia to ease your comfort.
