Fixing Hurting Feet with Your Own Magic Blood
PRP Help in Houston!
Looking for a non-surgical way to ease foot or ankle pain? At Houstonian Foot & Ankle Specialists, we offer PRP therapy in Houston to help your body heal itself. Learn how Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) works and why it’s becoming a go-to option for fast, natural recovery.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy uses your own blood to encourage healing. We take a small sample, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and inject it into the injured foot or ankle area. Platelets are rich in growth factors that boost tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and help you recover faster.
How PRP Injections Work
- Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is taken.
- Processing: The blood is spun to create a platelet-rich solution.
- Injection: The PRP is injected into the specific area using ultrasound guidance for accuracy.
This minimally invasive process takes about 30–45 minutes and you can head home the same day.
