Inside PRP Therapy
Harness your body's natural healing power to repair damaged tissue and restore function. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy concentrates the healing components from your own blood – delivering growth factors directly to injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. Each treatment is ultrasound-guided for precision targeting, designed to accelerate recovery and help you return to the activities you love.
Science, Strength
and Recovery
At Paragon Sports Medicine, we believe the body has remarkable capacity to heal itself when given the right support. PRP therapy amplifies your natural repair mechanisms by concentrating platelets – and the powerful growth factors they contain – up to 5-10 times higher than normal blood levels.
When precisely injected into damaged tissue under ultrasound guidance, these growth factors trigger cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the formation of new, healthy tissue. The result is not just symptom relief, but actual biological healing that addresses the root cause of your pain and dysfunction.

Your Body's Blueprint
for Healing
PRP therapy leverages the healing intelligence already present in your blood. Platelets contain over 300 active growth factors that orchestrate tissue repair, including:
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
Stimulates cell replication and tissue regeneration, particularly in tendons and ligaments.
Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β)
Regulates inflammation and promotes collagen production for structural tissue repair.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Enhances blood vessel formation, improving nutrient delivery to healing tissues.
Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)
Accelerates tissue growth and supports muscle and cartilage regeneration.
Concentrated Healing Response
Reduces pain, improves function, and restores tissue integrity without surgery.
From Chronic Pain to Athletic Injury:
PRP Applications

Joint degeneration (knees, hips, shoulders)
PRP helps repair degenerative joint tissues, reducing pain and improving mobility in commonly affected areas such as knees, hips, and shoulders.
Tendon or ligament injuries
Stimulates healing in damaged tendons and ligaments, accelerating recovery and restoring strength for long-term resilience.
Performance-Related Soft Tissue Injuries
Enhances recovery and performance for athletes and active individuals by promoting faster tissue regeneration and reducing downtime.
Where Science Meets
Compassion
Blood Draw
A small sample of your blood is collected in the Paragon office – similar to routine lab work.
Concentration
Your blood is processed in a medical-grade centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Ultrasound Guidance
Using real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound, Dr. Garten precisely identifies the damaged tissue and maps the optimal injection pathway.
Targeted Injection
Using real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound, Dr. Garten precisely identifies the damaged tissue and maps the optimal injection pathway.
Recovery Protocol
You'll receive a personalized activity modification plan and follow-up schedule to optimize healing and track your progress.
Expertise That Makes the Difference
Expertise That Makes the Difference
Natural & Safe
Because PRP uses your own blood, there's virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. No foreign substances, no synthetic materials – just your body's own healing biology, concentrated and amplified.
Minimally Invasive
An office-based procedure with local anesthetic. No general anesthesia, no surgical incisions, no hospital stay required. Most patients resume light activities within days.
Addresses Root Causes
Rather than masking pain with medications or using temporary fixes, PRP stimulates actual tissue regeneration – repairing damage at the cellular level for lasting results.
Surgical Alternative
For many conditions, PRP offers comparable outcomes to surgery without the risks, downtime, or lengthy rehabilitation that surgical intervention requires.
Faster Recovery
While surgical recovery often takes 4-6 months or longer, PRP patients typically progress through healing milestones in 8-12 weeks with fewer restrictions.
