What it treats
Non-surgical options for pain and mobility.
PRP concentrates your platelets, which are rich in growth factors, to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. Early studies show promising results for osteoarthritis.
- Arthritis, such as knee or shoulder osteoarthritis
- Shoulder and knee injuries, including rotator cuff tears and meniscus issues
- Tennis or golfer's elbow (epicondylitis)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendonitis and ligament strains
- Chronic joint pain from overuse or aging
How it works
A blood draw, a spin, an injection.
Blood draw
A simple draw from your arm, like a routine lab test.
Concentrate
A centrifuge separates and concentrates the platelets into a potent solution of healing factors.
Inject
The PRP goes directly into the affected joint or tendon, with ultrasound guidance for precision when needed.
Before you come
A few things worth knowing.
Consultation first
Call (417) 332-3639 to schedule. A provider evaluates your condition and history and confirms PRP is a fit before the procedure is booked.
Minimal downtime
Most patients resume light activity shortly after. Skip strenuous exercise for a few days to optimize results.
How long it lasts
Relief often lasts from several months to over a year.
Usually self-pay
PRP is considered an innovative therapy and is often not covered by insurance. Pricing is flat: $500 for one joint, $1,000 for two.
Who you'll see
Care from the family providers you already know.
Every service here is handled by our family nurse practitioners, with supervising physicians behind the team. It all happens in Branson, not through a referral, unless you need one.
