Accelerate Healing the Natural Way

What Is Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy taps into your body's natural healing power to relieve joint pain and boost recovery. By using concentrated platelets from your own blood, PRP helps repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore movement—offering a safe, non-surgical way to get back to living, naturally.

The ROC Difference

For the best outcomes, PRP must be administered with the proper platelet dose, delivered to the proper location. Dr. Miars brings 20 years of clinical experience performing PRP, and a standard of delivering the highest quality product to his patients. At ROC, your PRP will be processed and measured in our lab, utilizing equipment and techniques proven to achieve an optimal platelet dose, maximizing your healing response. And, your PRP will be injected under ultrasound guidance to ensure it is delivered to the right location, while utilizing techniques to make the injection as painless as possible. For you, the ROC difference means you receive high-quality treatments to maximize your outcome.

What Should I Expect?

When you arrive, we'll draw your blood, like when you have labs or donate blood. Then you can hang out in our waiting room and enjoy a drink and/or snack while we process your blood to create the PRP, which takes about half an hour. When your PRP is ready, you will return to a procedure room where we will inject the PRP into the desired area. The discomfort of the injection is generally the same or less than other injections you have had in the past. After the injection, you will likely experience increased pain for a couple of days and some soreness and stiffness for up to two weeks. You will experience approximately 80% of benefit by 6 weeks as your body improves naturally, with maximum improvement noted around 3 months after the procedure.
