PRP Therapy Q&A

What is PRP therapy?

At Pain Specialists of Frisco, Dr. Mohan uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to ease pain, reduce inflammation, and help you heal faster after injuries.

PRP therapy starts with a sample of your blood. Your blood is mostly liquid plasma, but it also contains platelets that enable your body to heal and your blood to clot. To make PRP, Dr. Mohan draws a small amount of your blood and then separates and concentrates the platelets.

When he injects the concentrated platelets into an injured, damaged, or inflamed area, the growth factors go immediately to work, promoting healing and shortening your recovery process.

What conditions can benefit from PRP therapy?

You may benefit from a PRP injection if you have:

Sports injuries
Shoulder pain
Back pain
Broken or fractured bones
Golfer’s elbow, jumper’s knee, or tennis elbow
Hair loss
Joint injuries
Muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries
Osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, or shoulder
Rotator cuff tears

Since Dr. Mohan makes PRP from your own blood, you don’t have to worry about treatments triggering an allergic reaction.

What can I expect during a PRP therapy appointment?

Dr. Mohan begins your treatment with a thorough examination. If you take medications, particularly blood thinners or NSAIDs, bring a list so he can ensure your safety. He reviews your medical history and discusses your symptoms before drawing a blood sample.

Once Dr. Mohan prepares the PRP, he injects it into the inflamed or injured area. He can also numb the injection site to keep you comfortable. Plan for your appointment to take about an hour, and you can return to your routine afterward.

What happens after my PRP therapy?

As with any injection, you may notice a little soreness or mild swelling. You can apply cool pads to the area to minimize discomfort and avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours.

Depending on your condition, Dr. Mohan may prescribe several injections, delivered at intervals that support your entire healing process. You’ll likely notice improvement after only one or two sessions.

Pain Specialists of Frisco offers PRP injections alongside a full suite of pain-easing treatments, including regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy, and Dr. Mohan is passionate about getting you back to living an active life.
