Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy

At Wellswood Midtown Animal Hospital, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as part of regenerative medicine to help support healing and improve your pet’s comfort and mobility. PRP therapy uses a small sample of your pet’s own blood to concentrate platelets and natural growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair.

These healing components are carefully prepared and injected into the affected area to help stimulate the body’s natural healing response. PRP therapy can be a helpful option for pets experiencing orthopedic conditions, soft tissue injuries, and joint-related pain.

• Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
• Ligament injuries and tears
• Tendon injuries
• Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries
• Inflammation and chronic joint pain
• Certain spinal or mobility-related conditions

Because PRP therapy uses your pet’s own biological material, it is considered a minimally invasive treatment option designed to work with the body’s natural healing process.

Many orthopedic and soft tissue conditions can cause ongoing discomfort and limit your pet’s mobility. Regenerative medicine treatments such as PRP therapy focus on addressing the underlying tissue damage rather than simply managing symptoms.

By concentrating natural growth factors from your pet’s own blood, PRP therapy helps stimulate healing at the cellular level. This may help reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve overall comfort for pets dealing with chronic pain or injury.

PRP therapy begins with a small blood sample collected from your pet. The sample is processed to separate and concentrate platelets, which contain proteins and growth factors that support healing.

Once prepared, the platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into the targeted area. The goal is to stimulate the body’s natural repair process and encourage healing in damaged tissues.

If your pet is experiencing mobility issues, joint pain, or soft tissue injuries, PRP therapy may be a helpful treatment option. Our veterinary team can evaluate your pet’s condition and determine whether regenerative medicine therapies may support their recovery.
