PRP Therapy in Seattle

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Regenerative Therapy stimulates healing through injection of one’s own ultra concentrated platelet & growth factors into inflamed and painful tissue areas.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Healing with Your Body’s Natural Power
When it comes to healing orthopedic conditions, PRP therapy might just be the MVP of regenerative medicine. It’s an effective treatment for tendonitis, muscle tears, chronic soft tissue pain, and even acute sports injuries. But what exactly is PRP?

Spoiler alert: It’s not some sci-fi concoction; it’s all about you.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated powerhouse of platelets extracted from your own blood. While it doesn’t contain stem cells (let’s not give it more credit than it deserves), it does pack a punch with growth factors that may turbocharge the healing process. Don’t believe us? Clinical trials back it up—PRP has shown promise in helping chronic pain and injuries heal faster.

The Science-y Part (But We’ll Keep It Simple)

Here’s how it works:
1. Blood is drawn from your arm.
2. It’s spun in a centrifuge at just the right speed to separate the components: red
blood cells (RBCs), plasma, and the star of the show—Platelet-Rich Plasma.
3. The PRP is carefully separated and injected into the injured area.

Why does this work? Platelets are like your body’s repair crew. They release growth factors that help regenerate soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments while also managing pain. Studies suggest PRP can improve tissue healing and boost your recovery like an extra espresso shot for your body’s natural repair system.

What Sets Pinnacle Integrative Health Apart?

Here’s where we toot our own horn a little. Pinnacle Integrative Health has been a
leader in regenerative medicine in the Seattle area since 2014, with our exclusive award winning GPF METHOD having successfully treated over 10,000 patients. That’s not just experience; it’s expertise.

But not all PRP treatments are created equal. Recent research has revealed a
crucial detail: PRP should not be injected inside joint capsules unless the
proteolytic enzymes have been filtered out. These enzymes, while useful
elsewhere, can actually soften cartilage when left to their own devices in a joint.
Think of it like leaving a toddler unsupervised in a candy store—not ideal.

Why Choose PRP Therapy?

  • It’s all-natural. Your body, your healing. No synthetic fillers here!
