The first step is to analyze the cause behind your arthritis pain through a range of diagnostic tests to determine the viability of PRP. The STEMS Health doctors will provide in-depth analysis and guidance on the testing results and discuss the potential value of PRP for your arthritis pain relief.
The initial phase of treatment begins with drawing blood from your arm for processing. The blood is processed into a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma.

After your treatment, our team will follow up to ensure an effective recovery. The team is also available on short notice to respond to questions as you begin to experience the transformative pain-relieving impact of PRP injections.
By understanding PRP’s unique value as a pain relief option, you can make an informed decision about your health needs over the long term. Below, we compare PRP injections with other popular arthritis pain relief options:.
Common conditions that a PRP injection may treat include:
Because PRP relies on your natural healing processes, the pain-relieving effects can take more time than the alternative corticosteroid shot. PRP patients will begin to see pain relief within six to eight weeks. PRP directly heals damaged tissue, and research has shown that patients achieve pain relief in the long term compared with corticosteroids, which only offer shorter-term relief.
PRP has also proven more effective than hyaluronic acid injections at the 6-month and 12-month stages in a Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research study. The data shows PRP treatment led to greater pain-relief scores and better functional recovery levels at the equivalent timeframe than HA injections.
