For years, corticosteroid injections have been a go-to treatment for joint pain, inflammation, and musculoskeletal injuries. However, repeated steroid shots can come with serious side effects, including tissue damage, bone thinning, weakened tendons, and suppression of the body’s natural healing response. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a safer, more natural alternative by using your body’s own cells to promote healing without the long-term risks associated with steroids.

Unlike steroids that only mask inflammation temporarily, PRP works by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the injured area, stimulating tissue regeneration and accelerating recovery. Because PRP is made from your own blood, there’s minimal risk of allergic reaction or systemic side effects. It’s especially beneficial for chronic conditions like tendonitis, arthritis, and frozen shoulder—where promoting healing is just as important as managing pain.

If you’re looking for a long-term, minimally invasive solution with fewer side effects, PRP therapy may be the safer and more sustainable option. Consult with a regenerative medicine provider to find out if PRP is right for your recovery journey.
