Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
Harness Your Body’s Healing Power
At Ford Wellness Center, we believe that the human body has an extraordinary ability to restore and repair itself. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a regenerative treatment designed to support that process—using your own blood to stimulate healing, rejuvenate tissue, and enhance recovery.
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a treatment that concentrates platelets and growth factors from a patient’s own blood and injects them into targeted areas of the body. These platelets play a vital role in tissue repair and regeneration, supporting the body’s natural healing response. Originally developed decades ago, PRP continues to evolve as a promising tool in both medical and cosmetic applications.
By isolating autologous plasma (your own plasma) with a high concentration of platelets, PRP therapy enhances the regenerative signals your body already produces—without drugs or surgical intervention.
How PRP Works
The process begins with a simple blood draw. The sample is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich portion, which is carefully injected into the area of concern. These concentrated platelets release growth factors that activate the body's natural healing cascade—stimulating cell renewal, collagen production, and increased blood flow.
This targeted stimulation may support soft tissue recovery, reduce discomfort, and encourage tissue regeneration, all while using components derived entirely from your own body.
Common Uses of PRP Therapy
PRP is widely utilized in both medical and aesthetic practices, including:
Pain Management & Musculoskeletal Conditions
Tendonitis and ligament injuries
Muscle strains and soft tissue inflammation
Sciatica and slipped discs
Back, neck, and shoulder discomfort
Tennis elbow
Post-operative healing
Cosmetic & Dermatological Uses
Acne scars and uneven skin texture
Hair thinning and androgenic alopecia
"Vampire" facials and under-eye rejuvenation
Fine lines and skin laxity (often combined with dermal fillers for natural-looking enhancement)
Why Choose PRP Therapy?
As we age, our body’s natural healing response can slow down. PRP therapy is designed to support and enhance that process—using a natural, biocompatible approach. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of adverse reaction is significantly reduced, making it a well-tolerated option for many patients seeking restorative care. Unlike medications or surgery, PRP offers a minimally invasive alternative that complements the body’s biology—making it a compelling choice for those looking to address discomfort or rejuvenate appearance through regenerative medicine.
Is PRP Right for You?
While PRP therapy has a broad range of applications, it may not be suitable for everyone. An in-depth consultation with Nathan D. Ford MD is necessary to determine whether PRP is appropriate for your unique health goals and medical history.
